The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, as it explores the repercussions of a very real incident that altered lives. The pacing can feel erratic at times, mirroring the chaos that ensues for the victims. Themes of exploitation and consent resonate throughout, giving it a haunting quality. The practical effects, while sparse, serve the narrative well, creating a raw, unsettling experience. Performances are a mixed bag, but they often feel genuine, enhancing the overall discomfort that lingers long after the credits roll.
