About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a chilling slow-burn that starts like a serious medical documentary before turning more frightening, with plenty of suspense; Not for you if you dislike found footage horror like Paranormal Activity or Creep 2, or if you prefer stories that stay consistent.
Pros: strong early premise; creepy dementia descent; effective performances | Cons: confusing late additions; frustrating found-footage style; uneven pacing
