About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a patient, psychological horror with a relentlessly uneasy mood and minimal jump scares; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or big shocks like Jacob's Ladder.
Pros: creepy asylum setting; slow-burn tension; strong performances | Cons: very slow pace; confusing at times; scares feel limited
