About

You may enjoy this if you want a moody, low-budget supernatural thriller with steady buildup and occasional jolts, like Silent House; Not for you if you hate slow pacing, familiar horror beats, or endings that feel muddled.

Pros: creepy atmosphere; a few tense sequences; some effective jump scares | Cons: messy story turns; uneven acting; weak, confusing ending
