🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film uses anxiety as a tool: applied precisely, in the right places. Doesn't let you relax, but doesn't overdo it.

A thriller that rewards on repeat viewing: you notice things the second time around. Worth revisiting.

For fans of suspense and psychological tension. If you need action — this is a different film.

Director: Alfred L. Werker
