About

If you want a psychological, true-crime thriller that leans on uneasy conversations and creeping dread more than gore, this fits; Not for you if you need fast action, clear answers, or a lighter tone like The Frozen Ground.

Pros: slow-building tension; unsettling true-crime story; strong lead performance | Cons: takes poetic license; uneven academic angle; a few over-the-top moments
