About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a claustrophobic, edge-of-your-seat tiger thriller with a real-animal feel and sustained suspense, like Come Play or Before I Wake; Not for you if you dislike implausible premises or want more gore.
Pros: tense house survival; real tiger thrills; strong lead performance | Cons: implausible setup; uneven acting moments; repetitive tension
