HorrorHound2000 ā 7/10
āBrutal and uncomfortable in the best way. The realism is terrifying, and you really feel the protagonist's dread. It's not a fun watch, but it's a powerful one.ā
NightOwl ā 5/10
āI appreciate the gritty realism, but the pacing was too slow for me. The atmosphere is tense, but the story didn't hook me until the second half. Not my favorite Mendoza.ā
CinemaSlayer ā 8/10
āA masterpiece of tension. The hand-held camera and realistic performances make you feel like you're right there. It's a disturbing descent into hell that I won't forget.ā
GhoulGirl ā 6/10
āWell-acted and deeply unsettling, but it's a tough sit. The graphic scenes were a bit much for me, but the emotional impact is undeniable. It's a thought-provoking film.ā
