The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, drawing you into her isolation. The practical effects are pretty striking for a short film; they add a tangible quality to her supernatural world. Performances are… well, they have a rawness that feels authentic, fitting the unsettled times we live in. What’s distinctive? It’s the blend of traditional horror with contemporary themes.
