The director constructs dread not with jump scares, but through a gradual descent into the protagonist's crumbling psyche, relying on a muted color palette and a disquieting score. It explores collective cruelty and personal obsession, framed by the gritty texture of the 1970s.

What lingers after the credits is not just fear, but a profound unease about the monsters forged from good intentions. A chilling study of how protection can curdle into possession. — MovieFinder Editorial
