About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow, haunting blend of political reckoning and restrained supernatural dread, similar in tone to Tigers Are Not Afraid; Not for you if you want constant scares or fast-moving horror.
Pros: powerful social critique; eerie, haunting mood; strong family tension | Cons: slow-burn pacing; supernatural element underplayed; may feel unfocused
