mini-review
This is horror rooted in mourning. Rather than relying on jump scares, the film cultivates unease through silence, suggestion, and emotional vulnerability. It understands that the most terrifying thing is not the supernatural — it’s the human willingness to invite it in. Patient, heavy, and unsettling, it lingers long after the final frame.
A quiet night, low lights, and a tolerance for emotional heaviness.
