Positive Aspects:
The concept is contemporary and provides a satisfying fear which concerns people about the influence to people’s thoughts and feelings.
Florence Pugh mimics the best of controlled chaos, she makes the character’s breakdown seem so natural.
The creative use of surreal images in this movie creates the perfect atmosphere and creates the striking visuals that almost seem haunting.
Negative Aspects:
This movie does have a slow build which causes the scares to feel unearned.
The lack of conclusion also irritated a few people who may feel a plot should be summed up with a clear end instead of leaving things ambiguous.
