Emilie Black Cinema Crazed ... everything comes together to create the right amount of creep factor and keep it building until the end when the finale is perhaps not entirely spelled out. Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting Even if I don’t retain the specifics of the plot, I’m certainly going to remember the way the end of this movie made me feel, and often, that’s enough.
