That child’s cry echoes hauntingly, pulling her deeper into despair. The practical effects here are intriguing, illustrating her internal struggle in a visceral way. It feels like a meditation on fear and escape, but also the inescapable nature of one's own demons. The pacing is deliberate, which amps up the dread. It's distinct in its atmospheric approach, and the performances are raw, lending an eerie authenticity to the whole experience.
