The pacing has its moments—slow and brooding at times, yet it ramps up when needed, making you feel the weight of the protagonist's emotional turmoil alongside the physical dangers she faces. The themes of identity and lost innocence are woven throughout, as she grapples with her parents' divorce and the stranger's eerie claims about her soul. Performances are solid, with the lead bringing a raw vulnerability that resonates. It's distinctive in how it merges coming-of-age with horror without losing that unsettling edge.
