Why it matters
A tense survival thriller that blends maritime dread with a grim folk horror sensibility rooted in isolation and grief.
- Maritime horror rarely gets this atmospheric — the claustrophobic shipwreck setting evokes classic sea-bound nightmares.
- Focuses on sibling dynamics under extreme duress, adding emotional weight to the survival story.
- Practical effects and natural environments ground the supernatural elements in unsettling realism.
- Ideal for fans of slow-burn folk horror who appreciate mood over gore and mystery over jump scares.
