Their relationship is tense, with a palpable atmosphere of fear and longing that permeates every scene. The practical effects, while understated, effectively convey the physicality of Vincent's suffering without overshadowing the emotional core. The ghostly encounter serves as a catalyst, pushing Anna to confront her own demons. Performances are raw and sincere, creating a haunting portrait of a family's struggle.
