About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want immersive, imagination-driven horror built on tension and being lost in the dark, like The Babadook or The Taking of Deborah Logan; Not for you if you need lots of action, gore, or clear scares.
Pros: tense wilderness dread; found-footage impact; atmosphere over gore | Cons: very little shown; slow, uneven pacing; divisive screaming
