    A fine addition to horror collection

    The trailer felt a bit casual but the plot seemed really interesting. So I decided to give it try and I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID. This movie have perfect pace, character development, really good performances throughout with eerie atmosphere while still keeping the viewer guessing for details and attempting to fill some blanks which makes it all more interesting and engaging.

    The finale felt a bit underwhelming and pushy. But overall, a really good watch and highly recommendable.
