Why it matters
A tense descent into 1980s folk horror that twists innocence into dread with unsettling precision.
- Evokes the era’s uneasy blend of suburban malaise and occult paranoia, tapping into folk horror’s simmering dread rather than spectacle.
- The doll-as-curse trope gets fresh life through practical effects and atmospheric dread, avoiding cheap jump scares for a slow-burn unease.
- Female friendship and vulnerability anchor the narrative, making supernatural terror feel intimate and personal.
- For fans who favor mood and creeping dread over gore or high-concept scares—a quiet, haunting ritual of fear rooted in place and time.
