About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a psychological abduction thriller driven by obsession, dread, and uneasy cat-and-mouse tension; Not for you if you need nonstop action or hate slower, more unsettling stories like The Gift.
Pros: tense, smart suspense; creepy villain presence; strong supporting heroine | Cons: slow stretches; uneven tone; divisive remake changes
