About
You may like this if you want a bleak, unsettling horror film that stays close to a killer’s mind and uses a stark, relentless style; Not for you if you prefer lighter, more conventional thrills, though fans of Nosferatu the Vampyre may appreciate its mood.
Pros: intense atmosphere; striking visuals; strong lead performance | Cons: uneven exposition; repetitive inner monologue; emotionally draining
