User Reviews
“Loved the psychological twist and the way the past haunts the present. It's not your typical jump-scare horror; it's the creeping dread that gets you. Definitely worth a watch for fans of slow-burn thrillers.”
“The atmosphere was top-notch and the acting was solid, especially the lead. I wish the scares were a bit more intense, but the family dynamics were genuinely unsettling. A solid horror flick.”
“I went in blind and was pleasantly surprised. The story is layered, and the cat-and-mouse tension kept me on edge. Some parts felt a bit slow, but the payoff was worth it. Highly recommend for psychological horror lovers.”
“It had its moments, but I found it a bit too artsy for my taste. The plot was intriguing, but I wanted more scares. The ending didn't fully land for me. Still, it's a well-made film with a strong performance from the lead.”
