The CinePearl Take
Brea Grant delivers a surprisingly grounded performance, anchoring the film’s escalating panic with just enough vulnerability to make the carnage feel personal. Michael Schwartz provides the necessary comic relief, but the real star is the film’s relentless pacing—each cut feels like a heartbeat speeding toward inevitable doom. Beneath the gore, the movie riffs on our obsession with media consumption, asking what happens when the screen becomes a predator.
