About
You may enjoy this if you like moody, odd haunted-house horror with bursts of gore and a slow build, similar to Haunted; Not for you if you want fast scares, clear answers, or minimal nudity.
Pros: eerie atmosphere; intriguing afterlife concept; occasional gore | Cons: slow middle stretch; confusing story beats; awkward sex scenes
