Accept the gift and destroy it and destroy yourselves. Or keep it and bow down, bow all the way down, and get right down to the dirty, dirty work. Work that gets dirty as it cleans.

I saw that I hit 800 followers here, so firstly thank you to anyone who follows or reads my yapping :‑D

I have been interested in watching this movie ever since I saw the trailer. I love horror, and I love stories about serial killers. I'm very glad that I watched this on the big screen. There is no way this experience can be received at home. 

This movie is honestly one of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time. My favourite thing about it is how it uses the setting and the story to portray fear instead of jumpscares. The atmosphere is eerie and the sound design is terrifying. 

By the time the main "play" of the devil is revealed, you realise what this movie actually is about. It's not about catching the killer. Because what the movie puts out is that, you can't escape this tragedy. You either "accept the gift and destroy yourself" like all those innocent victims, or you "keep it and do the dirty work for the devil itself."

That is a huge reason why I loved the movie's ending. It puts Lee in that similar position, and asks her to make the most difficult choice she'll probably ever make. Can Lee finally break this ongoing cycle of terror, or will she also join the devil in his dirty work? 

The movie leaves it up to the viewers, and I personally have no idea, however that is one hell of a way to spend your birthday.
