Jim's Review

🐛
A hen party in a creepy glass house in the middle of nowhere? You know it's going to go sideways, and it does not disappoint. Ware is great at creating an atmosphere of mounting dread, and the glass-walled setting is brilliantly paranoid. The final act gets wild. Three worms — and a strong case for never accepting a party invitation in a remote location. Ever.
