About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bleak, slow-burn folk tale with mounting unease and stark countryside mood, in the vein of The Lodge or Sea Fever; Not for you if you need fast scares, clear answers, or lots of action.
Pros: bleak, haunting atmosphere; strong performances; striking Welsh landscapes | Cons: very slow pace; thin dialogue; story feels unclear
