GloomyGus – 6/10
“I appreciated the slow-burn atmosphere and the unsettling mood, but I felt the scares were too sparse and the pacing dragged in the middle. The emotional core is there, but it didn't fully resonate with me.”
NakataFan123 – 8/10
“As a fan of Hideo Nakata's other work, I was not disappointed. The dread builds masterfully, and the imagery of water and abandonment is genuinely creepy. The ending hit me hard – it's a haunting tale that stays with you.”
ScareScout – 7/10
“I liked the realistic portrayal of a mother's struggle and the eerie supernatural elements. It's more of a psychological thriller than a jump-scare fest, which I appreciate. Worth a watch if you're into J-horror.”
HorrorHive – 5/10
“I found it a bit too melancholic and not scary enough for my taste. The acting is fine, but the story felt predictable, and the climax didn't pack the punch I was hoping for. It's okay, but not a favorite.”
