About
You may like this if you want a slow-burn gothic mystery about class, obsession, and a decaying manor more than outright horror; Not for you if you need clear answers, big scares, or brisk pacing like Cam or Berlin Syndrome.
Pros: moody period setting; strong supporting cast | Cons: very slow pace; low scares; confusing, unsatisfying story
