About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, motherhood-focused horror story with folklore touches and uneasy body-horror moments, in the vein of Birth/Rebirth or Tigers Are Not Afraid; Not for you if you hate slow burns or ambiguity.
Pros: unsettling supernatural moments; strong lead performance; tense body-horror beats | Cons: slow-burn pacing; familiar relationship conflicts; ambiguous explanations
