🔍 Search on JustWatch →A thriller that sustains tension without loud effects. The script is tightly wound, the director slow to show their hand. Each scene adds to the overall unease.
The intrigue holds well for most of the runtime. Weaker toward the end, but not critically so. For the genre — solid work.
Good for an evening viewing when you want engagement, not passive watching.
