Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and horror fans. If you loved Barbarian or Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 24 min.
What might put you off
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

A screener at the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), who has earned an unsavory reputation for being the strictest censor of violent films, begins to spiral out of control after viewing a low-budget horror with similarities to the disappearance of her sister.
