About
Not for you if you want a highly original horror plot from start to finish or a fully explained mystery; try Fear Street: Part One - 1994 or The Night House instead.
Pros: eerie forest atmosphere; strong tension buildup; grotesque monster design | Cons: bland or predictable story; some dialogue/action gaps; conclusion feels uneven
