About
If you like slow-burning supernatural stories with grief, mystery, and a creepy child’s-eye view, this may work for you, especially if The Hole in the Ground or The Blackcoat's Daughter appealed; Not for you if you want fast-paced scares or lighter horror.
Pros: eerie mystery; unsettling atmosphere; emotional family tension | Cons: sparse plot details; heavy mood; child-in-peril themes
