About
You may enjoy this if you’re in the mood for a slow-burn, B-movie-style wish-horror with a gloomy tone and some dark turns; Not for you if you want frequent scares, tight logic, or fast pacing like The Call.
Pros: intriguing wish premise; occasional eerie atmosphere; one standout performance | Cons: very slow pace; thin scares; messy, unclear story
