About
You may enjoy this if you like slow-burn, single-location horror that leans on dread and uncertainty more than action, like Evil Eye or Kindred; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, and big scares.
Pros: intriguing premise; creepy, tense mood; confined mystery | Cons: very slow pace; thin character depth; unclear payoff
