About
You may enjoy this if you like grief-driven folk horror with a dark, ominous atmosphere and a “be careful what you wish for” hook, especially if Pet Sematary appeals; Not for you if you want fast-paced, upbeat scares.
Pros: eerie folk-horror mood; strong central premise; creepy ritual scenes | Cons: familiar story beats; uneven character depth; pacing feels rushed
