The pacing is deliberate, which ramps up the tension—like, you can feel the anxiety creeping in as the supernatural elements begin to unfold. The practical effects, they’ve got a rawness that adds to the horror, not overly polished. It feels like it leans into that old-school aesthetic, which is refreshing. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who really sells that escalating sense of dread. It’s not just about jump scares, you know?
