Directed by anyone else or produced by Netflix, this would have been an over-the-top, action-filled, 2+ hour monstrosity. But with Wes Craven, it's a taught, exciting, 81 minuter with the over-the-top action stuff saved for the climax. The preceeding 60 mins is a great 2 hander set in one location and he wrings out every bit of tension possible!
