For its time, the film seems very well done to me, and in a certain sense, even innovative, although it's not taken to any extremes. I think it's a bit of a shame that this horror movie isn't more well-known because I would say it deserves attention. It's not extremely scary, but it's presented in a unique way that just caught my attention, and because of that, some scenes felt like horror to me.
