It's thick with tension, really nails that claustrophobic feel as she navigates through the night. Pacing is just right, balancing moments of quiet dread with sudden jolts of horror. The practical effects stand out, adding this raw, gritty texture that CGI just can't capture. Performances are solid, especially the lead, bringing a blend of vulnerability and grit. What makes it distinctive is how it flips the script on traditional horror tropes, exploring inner strength in the most unexpected ways. It’s a compelling blend of folklore and personal struggle.
