About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a trapped, psychological survival thriller with a lot of inner tension and standout acting, but Not for you if you need constant action or hate a slow burn like Before I Wake or Ouija: Origin of Evil.
Pros: strong central performance; tense trapped setup; scary and unpredictable | Cons: very slow pacing; confusing horror elements; ending disappoints
