(Spoilers.)
For the first 2/3 of this movie, it's an interesting one-location horror flick that starts casual and builds to more and more ominous moments, and it works for the most part. The movie is smart about what it shows us and what it leaves up to the audience to interpret through their imagination, and I found myself genuinely unsettled. Sadly, this falls apart in the last third of the film, where the answer makes zero sense. Was she innocent or was she not? Was her revenge sated or was it not? It's especially unfortunate given how interesting everything before it was. A promising beginning and a disappointing finish.
2.5 stars.
