Standout Aspects

Acting

Paddy Considine's stare alone deserves awards. Terrifying and heartbreaking.

Direction

Meadows blends kitchen-sink realism with fever-dream horror seamlessly.

Practical Effects

DIY home video interludes that shred your soul with authenticity.

Best for:Solo: Late night, headphones, no interruptions. You'll need silence after.·Streaming: Find the best quality you can—grainy DV footage is intentional but punishing.·Rewatch: Second viewing hits different once you know Anthony's truth.
Heads up:Violence: Sudden, realistic brutality—not stylized, genuinely upsetting.·Disturbing: Bullying flashbacks and one devastating photograph.
