What kind of watch this is
Rob Savage directs this 93-minute horror film, which trades on a familiar domestic fear. The hook is simple but effective: a young girl bonds with a house-bound entity that mimics her mother. The tension comes from the wrongness of the mimicry. Jessica Chastain and Jay Duplass anchor the adult side of the story. The runtime is short enough to finish in one sitting, but the dread lingers. It asks what happens when the person you trust looks like the thing that wants to hurt you.
What the critics said
Critics did not hold back. Rotten Tomatoes shows 16% positive reviews from 82 critics, with an average rating of 4.5 out of 10. The consensus notes the film is too silly for its jump scares to cohere. Metacritic assigns a 39 out of 100, signaling generally unfavorable reviews. Audiences were less forgiving than the critics, giving it a D+ on CinemaScore. The New York Times called it a "sometimes-creepy, sometimes-hilarious schlockfest".
How it did with audiences
It cost $19 million, a figure that suggests a studio betting on a specific demographic rather than a global phenomenon. Without box office data to prove the gamble paid off, the verdict rests entirely on the fans. On TMDB, users rate it 5.9 out of 10. That is a score that implies the movie did its job, just not brilliantly.
