My fellow Texan Bryan Bertino really knows how to whip-up something genuinely frightening.
He's the force behind The Strangers (2008), The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018), and The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015).
Marin Ireland (Homeland, Hell or High Water, and, most recently, The Boogeyman) is always great as Final Girl, including here.
Granted, Jamie Lee Curtis (as prototype), will forever be the first and final Final Girl, but Marin can definitely carry her weight.
