User Reviews
“I really felt the protagonist's sleepless paranoia – the film's atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with a knife. The slow burn might not be for everyone, but the creeping dread and unsettling sound design really got under my skin. Definitely a hidden gem for fans of psychological horror.”
“I get what they were going for, but it was too slow for my taste. The rat scenes were a bit repetitive, and I wanted more payoff in the scare department. The acting was decent, but the story just didn't grab me enough.”
“This one really clicked with me. The isolation and paranoia felt so real – I found myself second-guessing every noise in my own house afterward. It's a subtle, psychological kind of horror rather than cheap jump scares, which is exactly what I love. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for something cerebral.”
“Honestly, I struggled to stay awake through this. The pacing was glacial, and the rat just wasn't menacing enough to keep my interest. I appreciate the attempt at psychological depth, but it felt more tedious than terrifying. Not my cup of tea.”
