Why it matters
A slow-burning blend of folk horror and psychological dread that mines family trauma through a supernatural lens.
- Atmospheric tension thrives on isolation and decaying small-town malaise, evoking the best of regional hauntings.
- Practical effects and makeup by KNB veteran Greg Nicotero give the creature moments a gritty, tactile punch.
- Director Nathan Hendrickson leans into ambiguity—hallucinations and reality blur in a way that rewards patient viewers.
- Not for those chasing jump scares or outright gore, but a rewarding haunt for fans of creeping dread and occult mysteries.
