User Reviews
HorrorHound70 – 7/10
“I stumbled upon this little-known gem and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the diary concept adds a creepy layer. The pacing might be slow for some, but I enjoyed the build-up.”
ScaredyCat12 – 5/10
“I wanted to like it more, but the acting felt a bit wooden, and the scares were more psychological than I expected. It had its moments, but overall it felt dated to me.”
GoreGoblin – 6/10
“This one's a slow burn, but the final 20 minutes really deliver. The sense of unease is palpable, and the setting is perfect. Not perfect, but a solid addition to any horror collection.”
NightOwlNina – 8/10
“I really appreciated the atmospheric dread and the way the diary blurs reality. It's not jump-scare heavy, but it gets under your skin. Definitely underrated in my book.”
