I might have to overcome my general aversion to horror movies and go see this one. The question that makes me pause, though, is that I've read a lot of people who say the movie is "a look at what Gen Z is like" or something along those lines. Is this really true? Were the filmmakers attempting to create a workable, reasonable characterization of a whole generation? Or were they writing individual characters? I really don't know. It seems as though Gen Z gets stereotyped by the older generations to an inordinate degree. But I haven't yet heard any reviewer talk about the characters without implying that they are stand-ins for their entire age cohort.
