About
You may like this if you want a slow, paranoia-driven indie thriller that leans on friendship and uncertainty more than scares, similar in vibe to Absentia; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or big horror set pieces.
Pros: strong lead chemistry; tense paranoid mood; thoughtful friendship focus | Cons: very slow pace; thin or confusing plot; unsatisfying payoff
