About This Movie

The tension builds slowly, almost methodically, echoing the dread of secrets bubbling to the surface. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, capture a gritty realism that adds to the film's atmosphere. You can feel the weight of Steve's past bearing down on him, heightened by the performances, especially from the lead.
