So, let me tell you a funny story. A few months back, I showed a friend of mine It Follows. She had heard some things about it but didn’t really know anything concrete. She just heard that it was really scary and that she’d have trouble sleeping if she watched it. So, of course, I was the bad guy who put it on. Needless to say, she was deeply unsettled.
Fast forward a month or two later and she, myself, and another friend are at 16-Bit in Cleveland having some drinks and playing some N64 on the patio. As a joke, I pulled out my cell and headphones, put on Disasterpeace’s soundtrack, and had her pop in the earbuds. Lo and behold, she was suddenly terrified of every single person who was walking down the street, towards the bar, or simply approaching the N64 table. Like, “grab my arm and squeeze as hard as she could” terrified. It was pretty damn amusing but I’m a bit of a sadist like that.
The reason I’m telling you this story is because anyone who’s thinking of grabbing some friends and getting away to a cabin for the weekend should take Jason Graves‘ music for Until Dawn and have that same kinda experience. Is there a killer lurking in the woods waiting for the opportune moment to burst in and massacre you all? Maybe. Could someone be waiting behind that tree, biding their time before they off you far away from your friends so that they’ll only figure it out when it’s too late? Signs point to “Yes”. After all, what’s better than scaring the shit out of your pals?
…There’s a reason I don’t have many friends.
