It's incredible news for filmmakers and writers who want to tell original stories, Nick Phillips! The marketing campaign is brilliant! I'm sure we're gonna see more and more brilliant marketing.

Man, I can't wait to see this movie. I love horror not just because I enjoy the genre, but it really does deliver the most bang for your buck, budget-wise. Even though this one has it, they don't need a star to carry them, because the shocks are the star.

Maurice Vaughan this just gets my imagination working overtime, for future campaigns. Thanks mentioning the marketing campaign, Maurice. The Birthday Murders website is something you'd expect of A24.

I haven't seen such great marketing in a while. Even the trailers gave away enough to keep you interested without giving away too much. It goes to show just how important the right marketing strategies are.

Couldn't agree more Lisa Lee! You can make a great movie, but you still need to make people want to go see it!
