A twist comes near the end but its presented so simply you could almost miss it and even rifling through merrys memories youre left with questions that will never be answered

I feel about this about much like i feel about my best friend’s exorcism by grady hendrix on some places it’s campy and predictable and in others it’s quite disturbing
