About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, disturbing “bad babysitter” thriller that turns increasingly bizarre, but Not for you if you dislike uncomfortable themes, animal harm, or endings that feel abrupt, like some viewers noted.
Pros: tense, unsettling setup; strong child performances; keeps you watching | Cons: disturbing subject matter; plot holes; weak, abrupt ending
