About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you prefer eerie, psychological dread and a harsh historical setting over constant scares, with a slow build that keeps you guessing; Not for you if you want clear-cut supernatural horror like Rosemary's Baby.
Pros: strong lead performance; bleak Dust Bowl setting; eerie slow-burn mood | Cons: very slow pacing; unclear payoff; not very scary
