Critics say it left them shaking and they were too scared to turn the lights off at home.
The movie is having a great impact, not just on the viewers, but on the cast too.
Alex Wolff, who plays Peter the teenage son, recently revealed that thinks he has PTSD from filming the movie.
“It stuck with me while we were filming, and it stuck with me well after. When I started talking about it, all these flashes with all this disturbing shit I went through sorta came back in a flood.
It kept me up at night to where I got into a habit of emotional masochism at that point of just trying to take in every negative feeling I could draw from. I forced it upon myself rather than the opposite of what you’d usually do in life, which is sit on the heater until it starts to burn and you jump up immediately. I had to do the exact opposite of that and absorb the pain and let it burn.
It’s a reverse emotional thing. It’s hard to describe eloquently, it’s just a feeling. I don’t think you can go through something like this and not have some sort of PTSD afterwards.”
