About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a melancholy, character-focused ghost story with creeping unease more than big scares, similar in vibe to The Ring; Not for you if you need frequent jump scares or a fast pace.
Pros: strong lead performance; moody, rainy atmosphere; emotional mother-daughter focus | Cons: not very scary; slow, gloomy pacing; some unanswered questions
