About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sci-fi-leaning horror mystery with creepy kids and a steady, uneasy tone; Not for you if you need constant scares, fast pacing, or deeply likable characters like in The Ward.
Pros: strong opening mystery; eerie kid concept; moody small-town vibe | Cons: low on scares; uneven acting; middle drags
