🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film builds dread not through jump scares, but through the slow seepage of ancient folklore into a modern investigation. The atmosphere of ritualistic craft provides a uniquely claustrophobic backdrop for a mystery where the true horror lies in the uncovering.
What lingers after the screen fades is a chilling respect for the cultural specificity of its terror, and the quiet horror of a truth long buried. It’s a puzzle where every piece fits into a darker picture. — MovieFinder Editorial
