The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing feels deliberate—almost suffocating at times, which really immerses you in the protagonist's turmoil. The performances are compelling, especially the lead, who captures a mix of vulnerability and strength as she navigates her family's dark secrets. Practical effects are utilized sparingly but effectively, adding to the film's unsettling vibe.
