About
You may like this if you enjoy dark, psychological horror with a cruel edge and a focus on fear itself; Not for you if you want lighter scares or straightforward monster-style horror, and it may appeal if you liked Dorothy Mills.
Pros: tense psychological setup; strong character focus; bleak atmosphere | Cons: disturbing subject matter; cruel tone; not much gore
