Tension is there, but it never gets creepy
The tone of this movie is a bit strange to me, but it works really well. There are some twists to this that become obvious if you look straight at it, but it is engaging to watch. The casting is inspired, and I can't imagine it done better. The directing is great, and the performances are excellent. It is a tad slow in places, but I enjoyed it a lot.
