Reviews:
“This movie does an excellent job and keeping us wondering about what will happen next. Even when we think we know the direction, it goes in a different one. However, the odd style can see things slowing up too much, leaving us in a position where not everything clicks as well as it could.” ★★★ Movie Reviews 101
“It makes for hard viewing; the pacing is deliberately slow, and it proved difficult to engage with the characters and what unfolds before them onscreen. The acting is spot on but I found the pacing too laboured to draw me in and I was left feeling both unsatisfied and unmoved […] One for art-house horror enthusiasts only.” 5 out of 10, My Bloody Reviews
“A sprinkle of suspense here and a dash more character deep dive there would elevate the narrative to the next level. But don’t let these critiques deter you. The portrayal of raw, gut-wrenching terror juxtaposed with moments of poignant reflection truly showcases cinema’s power to mirror the myriad shades of human existence.” ★★★ Overly Honest Movie Reviews
