You can feel the weight of every decision the characters make, and the pacing keeps you on your toes. There’s this rawness in the performances that feels very authentic. It’s not just about the story; it’s about how cleverly the film plays with perception and reality, a real testament to the practical effects that add to the overall atmosphere.
