Why it matters
A psychological ghost story that blends grief and cosmic dread into a quietly unsettling meditation on trauma and the unknown.
- Rebecca Hall delivers a career-best turn, grounding the supernatural with raw emotional depth.
- Director David Bruckner crafts atmosphere through claustrophobic framing and a moody lakeside setting that feels both intimate and alien.
- Plays like a slow-burn folk horror riff, where the real terror is what lurks beneath memory and loss.
- For fans of haunting mysteries that favor creeping unease over jump scares — a modern take on haunted house storytelling that echoes the genre’s classics while feeling fresh.
