The documentary unfolds like a slow burn, revealing the unsettling past of a psychoanalyst who attempted to rehabilitate feral children. It’s haunting to watch the videotape diaries, where fragments of unsettling truths emerge amidst interviews that peel back layers of a dark history. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and there’s an authenticity to the way it captures the rawness of the children's experiences. The practical effects aren’t flashy—no jump scares here—but they linger in your mind, echoing the psychological horrors more than the visual. Overall, it’s a distinctive exploration of humanity's darker side, leaving you with that uncomfortable feeling long after it's over.
