The tension builds gradually, weaving a sense of dread as James and Gemma's idyllic life unravels. There’s a rawness to the performances that captures the couple's desperation, and the practical effects used to convey their secret bring a gritty realism that sets it apart. It's not flashy but definitely lingers in your mind; you feel the weight of what they’re hiding. The pacing invites you to sit with their choices, making the climax all the more unsettling.
