More of a drama verging on trying to be a thriller but I really found it to be a great movie. Towards the end I thought it was going to give us more of a twist and it doesn't but there is a great revenge story. Comes off as super dry and yes it's a slow burn but sometimes that can be ok if done well and it definitely was in this movie.

Not horror but still worth the watch.

4 skulls for it being a good drama. Docking a star because it's really not a horror movie.

Good acting and atmosphere. I liked the story, it was just way too drawn out. Could have been 45 min shorter.
