About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, slow-burn mix of period thriller, folklore, and true-crime ambiguity rather than nonstop scares; Not for you if you need fast action or clear answers, like in Gabriel.
Pros: eerie Gothic mood; intriguing true-crime angle; tense mystery build | Cons: slow, plodding pace; confusing story beats; uneven acting
