About
You may enjoy this if you want a dark, claustrophobic asylum survival horror with an unsettling vibe and occasional gore, similar in spirit to The Last Exorcism; not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or strong scares.
Pros: creepy asylum setting; tense blackout premise; a few grisly moments | Cons: slow pacing; thin characters; ending feels muddled
