About
You may like this if you enjoy quiet, unsettling ghost stories with a dreamy, uneasy mood, especially if Retribution or Ju-on: The Curse worked for you; Not for you if you want fast scares or clear-cut answers.
Pros: eerie atmosphere; haunting imagery; strong slow-burn tension | Cons: very slow pace; confusing story turns; uneven payoff
