The pacing is a bit uneven, but it only adds to the unsettling nature of the film. The performances feel raw and genuine, making the characters relatable despite their chilling actions. It's this blend of familiarity and discomfort that makes it a conversation starter among collectors who appreciate the undercurrents of human nature explored through an unconventional lens.
