The pacing builds tension beautifully, mixing moments of quiet dread with sudden jolts of fear. The spirit of the house – think of it as an oppressive force – captures lost souls, making it a metaphor for entrapment and despair. Practical effects are used skillfully, enhancing the ghostly presence without relying on CGI.
