To make this short and sweet, all I need to say is watch this movie. Watch it with a big group of people.
It takes a very simple plot and makes it into a very well-thought out horror movie.
The opening scenes effectively establish Maddie's story to allow the audience to get to know and care for the character.
Once the masked killer arrives, it begins as your typical cat-and-mouse game seen in every home invasion movie. The main character being deaf does allow a fresh spin on this game though. And without giving much away, the movie slowly begins to evolve into a very tense, fun ride.
Not to mention the superb acting from Kate Siegel, given the fact that she was only able to use sign language and other resources as a form of communication. You wonder throughout the film what you would do in her shoes, and you may be surprised by the logic and resourcefulness of some of her decisions.
There are several moments that would likely get an audience riled up, so grab a big group of friends and enjoy.
