The CinePearl Take
Karyn Kusama’s direction is razor‑sharp, letting dread build layer by layer without resorting to cheap scares. Lindsay Burdge delivers a hauntingly restrained performance, embodying grief that fuels the film’s paranoia. The pacing is deliberate, letting each uncomfortable silence amplify the looming threat, while the film’s exploration of grief, denial, and groupthink feels eerily relevant.
