🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a suffocating chamber piece, relying on the brilliant, unsettling performances of Carol Kane and Lee Grant. It explores inherited madness and symbiotic dependency with clinical precision, where devotion curdles into possession.
What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of unease about the cages we build from memory and trauma. The horror here is quiet, domestic, and all the more devastating for it. — MovieFinder Editorial
