About
You may enjoy this if you like slow-burn, “playing God” thrillers with creepy-kid vibes like The Lazarus Effect or Flatliners; Not for you if you want strong scares, tight logic, or a clear, satisfying ending.
Pros: intriguing cloning premise; solid cast; a few creepy moments | Cons: low tension; confusing plot holes; unsatisfying open ending
