The film has this haunting atmosphere that creeps in gradually, pulling you into Michael's aimless life. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost a reflection of his own stagnant existence, but it builds tension well. The practical effects are striking, enhancing the visceral moments without feeling overdone. Performances are grounded, particularly the interactions between Michael and Lee, which feel authentic and layered. It’s a film that lingers in your mind, leaving you questioning the darkness that can exist just beneath the surface of ordinary life.
