The Killgrin
This review includes mention of suicide.
It lays the groundwork for an interesting story, potentiallyinspired byThe BabadookorHereditary.
However, it’s the execution that fails to stick the landing.
This is partially becausethe Killgrin is treated like a bona fide slasher villain for the majority of the runtime.
