GloomyGus ā 6/10
āI 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.ā
NakataFan123 ā 8/10
āAs 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.ā
ScareScout ā 7/10
āI 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.ā
HorrorHive ā 5/10
āI 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.ā
