About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like offbeat 80s horror with a dreamy, pulpy vibe and grisly thrills, somewhere between Hellraiser and The Prowler; Not for you if you want fast pacing or polished realism.
Pros: creepy atmosphere; inventive book-to-reality premise; enjoyably campy tone | Cons: slow start; uneven acting; weak final stretch
