Director Sean Ellis seems to have taken a long meander to his first (I think) big English language film - but it's time very well spent, as he arrives with seemingly full mastery of the medium. The direction, pacing, screenplay, casting and luxurious, thickly atmospheric sound and visual design are all perfectly realised and denote a far more expensive film. This underappreciated gem takes its fairly standard premise and turns in a near A24 adjacent horror.
