The pacing is deliberate, really allowing the tension to build as the protagonist—a Kansas highway patrol officer—unravels the twisted layers of the killer’s psyche. The practical effects are well executed, bringing a visceral edge to the horror elements without feeling overly reliant on CGI. Performances are solid; you can really feel the internal struggle of the lead as she grapples with her grief and the disturbing nature of her hunt.
