Well, this was certainly better than expected. It's low budget, but uses that effectively. Visually and script-wise that side of things is utilised very well, creating an interesting, enigmatic atmosphere that gives "the horror" some room to build and breathe.

If there's a weakness in here, it's the main lead - which isn't to say that he's "bad", but... for me, he just didn't have the right look. He's competent, but - frankly "too well fed", whereas I think a gaunt, more haggard looking lead would have served the film better.

I think the soundtrack whilst not "stand out" was again, used effectively, but perhaps from an "effects" pov could have leaned harder into the "weird".

It's probably worth keeping an eye out for the director, I'd be interested in seeing what they do next.
