The spectre itself—this twisted-faced entity—gives off a palpable tension, especially in how it torments the women. The practical effects are noteworthy, having that raw, gritty feel that’s often missing in today’s digital landscape. The pacing is a bit deliberate but builds suspense in a way that’s kind of hypnotic. Performances seem to channel genuine fear and desperation, making it resonate more deeply. It’s distinct, for sure, and offers a fresh take on folklore horror.
