🎬 MovieFinder's Take
A genre thriller made with intelligence. The director understands the difference between suspense and shock — and chooses the former.
Worth watching for the atmosphere and structure. The finale may not please everyone — but the road there is worth the time.
For those who like films that keep them in a state of uncertainty until the end.
Director: Frank Tuttle

Viewing atmosphere: Late at night when you can give yourself fully to the film. Not as background — fully present.
