About
You’ll likely like this if you enjoy tense family mysteries and uneasy doubt in a remote home setting, but Not for you if you want a straightforward horror scare or subtle plotting like Hereditary or The Lodge.
Pros: intense psychological tension; isolated countryside setting; strong performances | Cons: slow pacing at times; twist feels obvious; disturbing body-horror elements
