A fun little film with a nice balance of thriller and horror elements. It never goes full out, but its restrained tension is what helps to set it apart. The moody presentation and solid performances help to ground the film, the slow build-up and the inevitability of the plot turn this into prime genre cinema.
It's cool to see Renata's slow transformation, the cinematography is stylish and the performances are good. The pacing is a little slow but helps build up the tension and adds weight to the payoff. It could've been a bit edgier and the finale, while fun, was a little predictable, but other than that this was a blast.
