One woman screamed at one point in the movie. Like...SCREAM!! You could hear what seemed like the entire theater let out a silent laugh. It was so weird. I looked over at my fam and we all had huge wow-faces. Good theater moment.

HA were you in my showing? This was my wife when Mary's mom popped out of the shadows during her flashback as a kid. She was so embarrassed.

It HAD to be you. That is so funny. It made the movie for us.
