About

You may like this if you enjoy psychological horror that leans on an unsettling studio atmosphere and nonstop audio work rather than clear thrills; Not for you if you need a linear, story-driven horror like Possum or Mandy.

Pros: immersive sound focus; claustrophobic studio mood; memorable unease | Cons: unclear narrative; uneven pacing; unsettling but divisive
