About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody police thriller with a supernatural hook and a puzzle-box feel, similar to Primal Fear or Frailty; Not for you if you dislike slower pacing, exposition, or unresolved-feeling logic.
Pros: intriguing supernatural mystery; strong lead performance; creepy, gripping moments | Cons: slow to get going; heavy exposition; plot holes and confusion
