HorrorVault – 8/10
“This is not a film for the faint-hearted. The descent into madness is relentless and the atmosphere is suffocating. I felt the terror in my bones.”
ArtHouseAddict – 7/10
“Visually stunning and emotionally harrowing. The lead actor's performance is raw and unsettling, though the narrative could be challenging to follow at times.”
GoreHound – 5/10
“I appreciate the artistic vision but found it too slow and overly bleak. The violence is more psychological than visceral, which was a letdown for me.”
NightOwl – 9/10
“A masterpiece of existential horror. The way it blends historical trauma with personal guilt is haunting. I couldn't shake it off for days.”
