About

You may like this if you enjoy supernatural thrillers with creepy folklore, uneasy memories, and a strong early build of tension, especially if Phobia or 1920: Evil Returns worked for you; Not for you if you need a consistently strong finish.

Pros: spooky first half; strong suspense; rooted folklore vibe | Cons: predictable stretches; weaker second half; disappointing climax
