Viewing Notes

Truly had me scared at times with a constant sense of dread. Nice work blending a few different horror tropes into a masterful movie that spotlights grief while touching on mental health and family relationships. Love that it does some things to make the viewer question if what it happening it real or possibly a dream/nightmare. Maybe the most shocking thing it that this movie received a wide release bc everything about it feels arthouse / independent.
