About
You may like this if you enjoy slow-burn, unsettling folk horror with sparse dialogue and heavy dread; Not for you if you want clear explanations or a fast, action-driven ride like The Devil's Bath or Sun Choke.
Pros: dread-filled atmosphere; unforgettable bleak visuals; minimal dialogue | Cons: very slow pacing; unclear or incomplete story; divisive experience
