Thrilling, dazzling, frightening fun.

The New Zealand-born McKenzie (...) excels at a kind of delicate doe-eyed fervor...

...a head-spinning fable that twists from finger-snapping retro fun to giallo-esque slasher fantasy...

...thoroughly silly and stupidly enjoyable.

Some of its more ambitious scares pay homage to other filmmakers, but the design and physicality of the monsters that infiltrate Eloise’s world summon fresh visceral terror.
