This reminded me of <I>Gothic (1986)</I> just being modernized. So this movie was quite the journey, definitely something I haven't seen but it definitely give you an experience in storytelling among strangers. Aya Cash can tell me scary stories anytime. She is quite good at it! This movie definitely is different and won't be up the alley of many people. But I say check it out, at least you'll get some good laughs and scary stories out of it.

Given "Scare Me" takes place mostly in a small winter cabin, the movie rests squarely on the shoulders of a very small cast. Aya Cash, a recent standout of Amazon's "The Boys" season 2, is excellent in this tight, compact thriller about two authors (one successful, one struggling) trying to scare each other with impromptu stories. The pizza delivery guy Chris Redd injects welcome humor and energy as he gets roped into the "rap battle" (with scary stories instead of rap). Decently entertaining but would make a better play on Broadway.
