How it scared people
The vibe
Samara Weaving in a shredded wedding dress and yellow Converse is the entire selling point, and she's worth it — few performers do exhausted rage this well. The gimmick, a board-game dynasty whose in-laws must survive a midnight game, is played as farce, and the running joke about the family's terrible aim keeps landing. Splattery, mean, quick.
