About
If you enjoy claustrophobic, unsettling psychological horror rooted in an internet legend, this should work, especially if you liked Bornless Ones or Gehenna: Where Death Lives; Not for you if you avoid disturbing, captivity-based stories.
Pros: unique urban-legend vibe; tense psychological thrills; strong performance shifts | Cons: small-scale setting; some noticeable flaws; very disturbing moments
