About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, slow-building horror-thriller with implied scares, family pressure, and a creeping investigation vibe, in the vein of Stake Land; Not for you if you need frequent jump scares or nonstop gore.
Pros: tense slow-burn dread; strong performances; moody rainy atmosphere | Cons: very slow first half; predictable setup; divisive ending
