That gradual unraveling is unsettling, with the atmosphere thickening as her husband discovers this eerie object, setting the stage for dread. The practical effects are understated but effective, enhancing the horror without overwhelming the narrative. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that only adds to the creeping sense of unease.
