GhostlyGaze – 7/10
“I loved the slow-burn atmosphere and the way the ghostly presence builds. The acting was solid, especially the female lead. Not the scariest but definitely creepy.”
RetroHorrorFan – 6/10
“A classic ghost story with beautiful visuals and a tragic tale. However, the pacing felt a bit slow for me, and the scares are more subtle than modern horror. Still worth a watch.”
