Why it matters
A tech-driven haunting that channels childhood isolation and digital dread into a modestly effective supernatural thriller.
- Explores the intersection of autism, loneliness, and technology with surprising sincerity, anchored by Azhy Robertson’s grounded performance.
- Creature design leans practical with a digital twist—effective enough to unsettle without leaning too hard on CGI.
- Fans of intimate, small-scale horror with emotional stakes will find moments of genuine tension and atmosphere.
- Falls into familiar territory with its bully subplot and some predictable beats, but still offers enough creepy device-based scares to hold your attention.
