Our take
A word-of-mouth phenomenon, Kyle Edward Ball’s surreal film of nightmare logic is a testament to the experimental possibilities of microbudget horror. Exploiting technological limitations in its unnerving, liminal framing of space, this haunted-house tale taps wickedly into primal fears of the dark.
