🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film builds dread methodically, layer by layer. Genre tools are used skillfully — no cheap jump scares, relying instead on genuine unease.

Worth watching for those tired of predictable horror. There's character and internal logic here. If you want quick adrenaline — better choose something else.

For those who want films that work with feeling rather than plot mechanics.

Director: Alexandre Aja

Viewing atmosphere: A dark evening when the house is quiet. Headphones mandatory — the sound is half the film.
