MysticMoor – 7/10
“A slow-burn that rewards patience. The eerie atmosphere and the performances really drew me in. Not for those looking for jump scares, but for a creeping dread, it's a gem.”
CoffinNails – 6/10
“I appreciated the quiet intensity of the story, but it felt a bit too slow for my taste. The theme of grief is handled nicely, though I wanted a bit more payoff in the end.”
BogWitch – 8/10
“This one stayed with me long after the credits. The unsettling ambiance and the subtle folk horror elements are beautifully crafted. A must-watch for fans of slow, atmospheric terror.”
SpookySpectre – 5/10
“It had its moments, but I found the plot too vague and the pacing really dragged. The acting was good, but I was expecting more scares and less brooding. Might work for some, just not for me.”
