About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a creepy, intense supernatural horror that leans on dread and family stakes more than gore, with a heavy metal edge; Not for you if loud music or loose ends bother you, like in The Invitation.
Pros: genuinely disturbing atmosphere; strong family performances; tense supernatural scares | Cons: plot holes; loud heavy metal; some unresolved threads
