About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like faux-documentary horror with possession themes, gradual tension, and a government-meddling angle; Not for you if you want fast pacing, frequent big scares, or lots of gore like Antlers.
Pros: convincing mockumentary setup; intriguing early tests; solid performances | Cons: slow, stop-start pacing; few standout scares; predictable, uneven payoff
