About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, mockumentary-style ghost mystery that builds unease and rewards close attention, similar to The Tunnel or Hereditary; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or frequent big scares.
Pros: eerie slow-burn dread; convincing documentary feel; memorable unsettling moments | Cons: very slow pacing; lots of interviews; payoff may feel unclear
