About This Movie

The pacing feels deliberate, almost haunting, as you watch this elderly resident confront not just neglectful staff but the darker shadows creeping in around him. Practical effects are used effectively here, adding a tangible sense of fear without relying heavily on CGI. The performances, particularly from the lead, are raw and unsettling, embodying both vulnerability and unexpected resilience. There's something distinctly unsettling about how it portrays aging and the way we often overlook the elderly. It's haunting in a way that creeps under your skin, long after it ends.
