About
You may like this if you’re into slow-burn cult stories with a creepy undertone and themes of patriarchy and control, similar in vibe to Kill List or Most Beautiful Island; Not for you if you want fast scares or a big payoff.
Pros: eerie, plausible premise; strong atmosphere; striking locations | Cons: very slow pace; thin plot progression; unsatisfying payoff
