This is a masterclass in sustained dread, turning festive cheer into a chilling, claustrophobic nightmare. It's a tense, unsettling slow-burn that preys on vulnerability and the fear of the unseen, wrapping you in a palpable sense of being watched. The holiday setting only amplifies its icy, psychological terror.
