Why it matters
A moody blend of supernatural revenge and psychological thriller that taps into late ’80s urban decay and spectral hauntings.
- Delivers a grimy, low-budget atmosphere reminiscent of ’80s hauntings with a street-level grit rarely seen in ghost stories of the era.
- Centers on a fractured family dynamic steeped in trauma, making its supernatural elements feel like extensions of psychological scars.
- Practical effects and makeup work lend credibility to the ghostly presence without leaning on cheap jump scares.
- Best for fans of ’80s supernatural horror that leans into mood over spectacle, and those interested in hauntings as a metaphor for buried sins.
