The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the growing dread as the local boys invade their home. It’s not overly flashy, but the practical effects and raw performances bring a gritty realism to the situation. Themes of vulnerability and the fragility of safety are prevalent here, making it feel unsettlingly relatable. It's the kind of film that lingers with you long after credit rolls, not because of jump scares, but more for the uncomfortable reflection it prompts on domestic life and the darkness that can intrude upon it.
