REVIEWS:

Focusing so closely on the domestic and romantic elements, the script ensures the audience is emotionally invested in the ordeal.

Oliver Jensen

it's a fantastic psychological horror. It doesn't rely on cheap scares but rather on the moral grey areas that appear when survival and loyalty collide. it demands strong actors, but it would make for a very powerful short film.

What a dark and claustrophobic story. I like the idea and the first pages!
