The witch, while looking like an ordinary villager, manages to infuse a sense of dread in the mundane. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as her interactions with the locals grow increasingly eerie. Practical effects play a notable role here—there’s a rawness to them that adds to the overall unsettling vibe. Performances are solid, capturing the duality of familiarity and fear. It feels distinct in how it handles folklore, almost like a slow burn that keeps you uneasy with every scene. It’s worth exploring if you appreciate layered storytelling in horror settings.
