About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn psychological horror that mixes family drama with creepy, lingering moments and invites discussion afterward; Not for you if you need clear answers, fast pacing, or constant jump scares like Session 9.
Pros: eerie atmosphere; strong emotional core; memorable scares | Cons: slow pacing; can feel confusing; uneven horror payoff
