The film draws you in with its slow, suspenseful pacing, allowing the haunting atmosphere to build around Sudhir as he navigates his feelings for the enigmatic Maria. The performances feel genuine, especially in the way they convey the underlying tensions of attraction and fear. What’s interesting is the practical effects, which, while modest, create a certain gritty charm that adds to the overall vibe.
