This film is a masterclass in escalating discomfort, slowly tightening its grip with an insidious dread. It feels like a social anxiety nightmare made manifest, where polite smiles hide a chilling, predatory undercurrent. The tension is palpable, building to an almost unbearable point, leaving you profoundly unsettled.
