Audience Reviews

patient1 7/10 Oct 25, 2025
Simple family trying to move forward after a tragedy befell them, the loss must feel unbearable to the young ones.
Very strange occurrences are happening to our young members of the family, and a new character has come into play. There's been an accident or maybe a lead into what is actually going on, but either way, it's scary for our young character now in peril.
This film has been an emotional roller-coaster of thoughts and perceptions.
