About
If you enjoy claustrophobic, fast-talking survival stories with dark humor and escalating paranoia, this could hit the spot, especially if you liked The Day of the Beast or 30 Coins; Not for you if you need clear answers and low gore.
Pros: tense single-location setup; dark absurd humor; curiosity-driven mystery | Cons: unclear explanations; gross-out moments; uneven tone shifts
