What a great example of working with less or moving in space! I actually disagree with others that knock this; I think it is a feature and not a bug. The story and plot is very straightforward, familiar, and even overused or seen 100 times before. In her first feature debut, Chloe Okuno takes all of that in stride and makes something great here. The tension building comes from someone who has been doing this for a long time, score, the lighting, location, camera, etc are all top-notch. Maika Monroe in the leading role does a phenomenal job here and just lets her face and expression tell the whole story. If you're a fan of atmospheric, thoughtful, and physiological thriller you should really give this a spin! Just remember that flower, sugar, and butter may make a cake, but not all cakes are the same.

A beautifully shot but aggressively basic psychological horror film. There's some genuine tension, haunting score, great use of location, and the lead performance is great as well. You can feel the loneliness that the lead character feels and the language barriers really help induce this feeling of isolation. However, just like any modern paranoia horror film, it feels like a short film content stretched into a feature. The entire film is basically a trope because it feels too familiar that you can call almost every beat. This thing desperately needs more twists and turns considering how slow it is. I honestly didn't expect much from this and it still manages to be disappointing.

I really enjoyed this slow burning mystery. It built suspense well, and while it did feel a bit dragged out the payoff at the end was great. The lead was especially excellent. Looking forward to what comes next from the creators of this.

Maika Monroe did an amazing job in this movie. Her acting and facial expressions, and the energy she puts out for the character she’s playing is amazing. They also did a great job with the creep atmosphere of this movie, and the suspense to go with it.

This was excellent and gorgeously shot.
