“I really enjoyed the eerie atmosphere in this one. The telepathy concept is genuinely creepy, and the hospital setting adds a sense of dread. It's slow in places, but the final act is worth it.”
“Found this to be a bit of a mixed bag. The acting is decent, especially from the lead, but the pacing dragged for me. Some good scares, but not enough to fully hold my attention.”
“I liked the psychological angle and the mother's performance was unnerving. The special effects are dated, but they fit the era. It's not a masterpiece, but for fans of old-school horror, it's worth a watch.”
“Honestly, I was disappointed. The premise is interesting, but the execution fell flat for me. The scares were predictable, and I never felt truly invested in the characters. Skip unless you're a completist.”
