About
You may like this if you enjoy bleak folk-horror with religious themes, moral tension, and a slower burn atmosphere, especially if Brand New Cherry Flavor appeals to you; Not for you if you want fast scares or a big monster showcase.
Pros: fresh folklore angle; creepy atmosphere; strong central premise | Cons: very slow pacing; uneven scares; thin character connection
