Yeah it sucked. Worst movie I saw in 2022. It's crammed so full of 2000s horror tropes it's unwatchable. Anything good in this movie is ripped out of better ones, like the general premise being It Follows but worse, and the visual style heavily "borrowing" from genuinely good directors like Ari Aster. The rest is so "generic homogenized jumpscare flick" it's painful. Trope after trope after trope. Plus even though I loathe jumpscares it'd be nice if they didn't fucking spoil the only one worth being startled by right in the fucking trailer.
A few weeks after I watched it I popped over at a gathering at a friends house and they'd started watching it like 20 minutes before I arrived. Initially I was like "oh man not this shit again" but after a while it was very affirming watching 4 different people getting more and more angry, disappointed and bored with the movie after each scene.

Which jump scare are you referring to?

The one when she's in the parked car, it's in the very end of the trailer iirc
