It’s got practical effects that are surprisingly effective, considering the low budget. The performances are raw, and they actually manage to evoke some genuine fear at times. The storytelling threads a mix of urban legends and personal anecdotes which gives it a unique edge. Overall, it feels like an anthology that tries to tap into those late-night campfire scares, which makes it distinct within the genre.
