🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic gothic horror atmosphere, relying on the confined space of the boarding school and a limited suspect pool. It explores paranoia through shadows and suggestion, keeping the beast's nature obscured longer than is comfortable.

What lingers after viewing is the chill of a British horror that prioritizes mood over gore, leaving you to question every character's motive. A slow-burn mystery for patient genre fans. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Paolo Heusch
