Unsettling and intriguing

I love this so much. It’s absolutely a slow-burn, but the whole film is unsettling and filled with creeping dread; I was captivated the entire time. I’ve watched plenty of scarier movies, but most of them are almost immediately forgettable. Possum stuck with me like no other film in a long time- I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I’ve re-watched it a few times.

Slow, boring, nothing happens. I didn't get it. Not scary at all
