About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an offbeat, atmospheric 70s thriller that mixes psychological tension with bursts of brutality and suspicion; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or constant action like in Torso.
Pros: tense household dynamics; moody rainy atmosphere; memorable shock moments | Cons: slow-burn pacing; uneven focus on murders; odd unresolved threads
