About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, unsettling thriller with dark humor and social bite, in the vein of Gone Girl; Not for you if you prefer straightforward scares or dislike slow-building discomfort.

Pros: creeping tension throughout; sharp social satire; funny moments land | Cons: some logic gaps; ending feels abrupt; not jump-scare heavy
