Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who like the lights on afterwards and anyone who loves a world with magic in it. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Fans of Hereditary or The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It should feel right at home. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
Hoping to find answers to her estranged father's mysterious illness, a young woman visits his old villa and uncovers a horrifying truth from the past.
