Shot in stark black and white, it creates this haunting atmosphere that feels very much like a nod to classic thrillers. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that works in its favor, building tension with each passing moment.

The practical effects used are surprisingly effective, adding a layer of authenticity that enhances the eerie vibe. Performances are raw and unrefined, capturing that desperation perfectly. There's a unique charm in its imperfections, making it stand out in the indie scene.
