About
You may like this if you want harsh, claustrophobic horror centered on psychological torment and twisted family dynamics, somewhere between Tony and Red White & Blue; Not for you if you dislike sadistic material or relentlessly bleak stories.
Pros: deeply unsettling atmosphere; committed performances; bleak, gripping tone | Cons: very disturbing content; familiar setup; slow early stretch
