About
Choose this if you want an intense, deeply uncomfortable slasher with a POV-driven experience and plenty of graphic kills; Not for you if you dislike slow, confusing storytelling or need strong realism, and you might prefer High Tension or The Perfection instead.
Pros: POV intensity; standout lead acting; gruesome practical effects | Cons: weak story; uncomfortable pacing; believability issues
