Practical effects here have a raw quality that enhances the eerie vibe of the film. Performances, though understated, draw you into this world of creeping horror. It’s that quiet, creeping feeling of dread that really sets this movie apart, making it a thought-provoking watch for those who enjoy more subtle horror narratives.
