🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Horror with character — not about the monster, but about what the monster does to people. The psychological layer works alongside the visual one. Rare for the genre.

Well-constructed dread and several scenes that linger. Cheap jump scares are minimal — a major plus. The ending isn't perfect but doesn't destroy.

Works for atmospheric horror fans. If you're expecting a gory slasher — wrong film.

Director: Peter Cilella
