About This Movie

The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, contrasting vibrant musical numbers that almost feel otherworldly. There’s a slow build to the climax that really lets you soak in the visuals and themes of empowerment and duality. Practical effects are used to great effect, allowing for some genuinely creepy moments that feel more tangible than CGI.
