It's probably best not to approach this as a horror film. Just think of it as a serious dash of 90s nostalgia with mystery elements and some "horror" plot points. It's certainly a unique film, it's just that I don't care that much for the lo-fi, alternative vibe it serves, despite some commendable ideas.
The performances are very muted (an acquired taste, but not bad), the neon look is nice (though hardly exceptional) and the rhythm of the film is different. The problem is that I don't care for all that nostalgia, nor the particular balance of genres here. The film left me cold, even so, I still appreciated the will to do something different.
