About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an old-school haunted-house chiller with a creepy mystery and steady tension, like Polaroid; Not for you if you need fast pacing, lots of gore, or highly original twists.
Pros: eerie atmosphere; tense set pieces; solid lead performance | Cons: familiar haunted-house beats; thin backstory; uneven payoff
