Practical effects, while not always polished, lend a bizarre authenticity to the twisted scenarios, making each scene linger in the mind long after viewing. Performances are raw and visceral, drawing you into this world where fantasies take a dark turn. It’s not your typical horror fare; it feels more like a fever dream, lingering and oddly inviting despite its grotesque nature.
