🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its dread from the visceral contrast between domestic sanctuary and the oppressive prison overhead, relying on the architecture itself as a character. It explores the psychological erosion that occurs when safety becomes a permeable illusion.
What lingers after viewing is a profound unease about the fragility of our own walls, both physical and mental. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched
