Why it matters

- A brooding, methodical slow burn that leans into atmosphere over gore—think Carpenter’s early work but with a spectral twist.
- Features a thoughtful lead performance that grounds the film’s eerie, unsettling quest for identity and truth.
- Practical effects and location work evoke a creeping sense of place as memory and reality blur.
- Ideal for fans of occult-tinged horror probing the psyche, where the real terror is the past clawing back.
