About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, slow-burn horror mystery that builds tension with what you don’t see; Not for you if you need constant action, clear answers, or lots of jump scares like Last Shift.
Pros: creative, original concept; strong creeping dread; memorable creature glimpses | Cons: slow first act; low-budget rough edges; pacing feels uneven
