Nazhat Hester is the reason this lands

Nazhat Hester was the thing I kept watching in 3 from Hell (2019). There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier. A couple of tiny timing choices really stuck with me. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. Not the whole movie, obviously, but it helps a lot.
