The pacing is deliberate, building tension as the group of friends aboard the cruise slowly realizes something’s off. It plays with classic themes of isolation and trust, which really hit hard when they're confronted with danger. The practical effects stand out, giving the film a raw and gritty feel that heightens the terror. Performances feel genuine, capturing the panic and desperation as their situation worsens.
