SpiritSeeker99 – 7/10
“I really appreciated the atmospheric build-up and the unique setting. The cousin's eerie calm was unsettling, and the ghost scenes genuinely gave me chills. It's a slow burn, but for me that added to the tension.”
CinephileNoir – 5/10
“The premise is intriguing, but I felt the execution fell flat. The scares were few and far between, and the pacing dragged in the middle. The acting was decent, but I didn't connect with the characters enough to care.”
HorrorHoundLao – 6/10
“As a fan of Southeast Asian horror, I liked the cultural angle and the ghostly lore. It was more eerie than terrifying, and the ending felt a bit rushed. Still, I appreciated the fresh setting and moody visuals.”
JumpScareJunkie – 4/10
“I kept waiting for the big scare, but it never really came. The film relied too much on atmosphere and not enough on actual frights. The blind cousin was a neat idea, but the execution didn't do it justice for me.”
