The film builds an eerie atmosphere; you feel the weight of dread creeping in as the demonic force starts to take hold. The pacing keeps you engaged, though it has its moments where it lingers a bit. The practical effects are worth noting—there's a tangible quality to the horror that really pulls you in.

There’s just something about its vibe that sticks with you, a certain rawness that feels authentic.
