Why it matters
A grim survival horror that channels pandemic paranoia into a chilling coming-of-age nightmare.

- Centers on orphan protagonists, blending post-apocalyptic grit with a dark fairy tale vibe reminiscent of Pan’s Labyrinth’s children in peril.
- The deranged antagonist’s secret injects a body horror element that recalls David Cronenberg’s knack for unsettling transformations.
- Practical effects and tight pacing keep the dread palpable, even when the plot leans into familiar tropes.
