Set in the eerie town of Innsma just before WWII, the film explores themes of greed that lead to a rich, atmospheric descent into madness. The pacing has this nice, unsettling rhythm, almost like you're teetering on the brink with the characters. The practical effects, while not always polished, add a gritty charm that complements the unsettling visuals.
