1.5

I liked the girls and their rapport. Hated their exposition-laced trauma dumps. I actually laughed when the “evil” was explained. There’s Buffy-esque campy horror, there’s deadly serious horror, and then there’s just weak and bad. What a waste of a premise. And! It was super boring. 1.5 stars only bc I like the girls’ dynamic (mostly).
