User Reviews
ShadowWatcher – 8/10
“I went in expecting a typical ghost story, but this is so much more. The way it ties dementia to supernatural horror is both heartbreaking and terrifying. The house itself feels like a character, and the final act left me speechless.”
CinemaSins – 5/10
“It's beautifully shot and the performances are solid, but I found the pacing too slow and the scares too sparse. The metaphorical stuff is interesting, but I wish it committed more to being either a family drama or a horror movie.”
GoreHound – 6/10
“Not much gore, but the atmosphere is thick with dread. The imagery of decay really got under my skin. It's a thinker's horror, not a jump-scare fest. I appreciated the originality, even if it didn't fully terrify me.”
NostalgiaNerd – 7/10
“This reminded me of classic slow-burn psychological horror. The relationship between the three women felt authentic, and the creeping dread was effective. It's not for everyone, but it definitely left an impression.”
