About
If you enjoy dark, slow-burn crime mysteries with folklore flavor and some gruesome moments, this should work, especially if you liked Among the Living or Kandisha; Not for you if you want fast pacing, big scares, or clear-cut answers.
Pros: eerie village atmosphere; gripping mystery setup; strong performances | Cons: slow pacing; predictable turns; thin character chemistry
