About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, intense survival-horror ride with cult and cartel menace, similar in spirit to Last Shift or The Poughkeepsie Tapes; Not for you if graphic gore and cruelty are dealbreakers.
Pros: tense, uneasy atmosphere; gritty, realistic edge; strong opening impact | Cons: very graphic violence; thin explanations; uneven acting, pacing
