About
You may like this if you want a grim, intimate horror-drama that leans into discomfort and graphic self-harm, closer in spirit to Martyrs than a conventional thriller; Not for you if you need fast action or avoid triggering imagery.
Pros: disturbing original premise; intense psychological focus; memorable, graphic moments | Cons: repetitive stretches; slow, talky pacing; abrupt, unsatisfying ending
