Why it matters
A tense rural thriller that twists home invasion tropes into something unsettling and unpredictable.
- Subverts the familiar “criminals meet innocent family” setup with a creeping sense of dread and shifting power dynamics.
- Lean, claustrophobic direction keeps the tension taut in a single-location lockdown nightmare.
- Practical effects and gritty atmosphere ground the horror in a lived-in, believable world.
- Fans of folk horror and home-invasion thrillers will appreciate the slow-burn unspooling of menace beneath the rustic veneer.
