The pacing is tightly wound, building tension as she unravels this sinister thread that connects the town's dark past with present horrors. The tone is unsettling, with a real sense of dread that lingers long after the credits roll. Performance-wise, Leanne is portrayed with a raw intensity that keeps you invested.
