There’s a rawness and unpredictability in the performances that feels very much in tune with the film’s themes of paranoia and obsession. Plus, the practical effects have a gritty realism that enhances the unsettling vibe. It’s not your typical horror flick—there’s a kind of cerebral edge that sets it apart from the crowd.
