About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, emotional fairy tale that mixes street-level danger with unsettling supernatural touches; Not for you if you avoid stories about children in peril or grim violence, like in La Llorona or When Evil Lurks.
Pros: gut-punch emotional story; strong child performances; eerie fairy-tale horror | Cons: bleak, hard-to-watch themes; supernatural elements divisive; slow for some
