REVIEWS:

It feels influenced by Bergman and early Aronofsky.

Albert Nuñez

This film is ultimately asking: where does man end and his shadow begin? I think it’s a parable about inner duality, with horror as a tool of revelation.

Sabrina Badran

At first, I thought it was just art for art’s sake. Then I realized it’s about the inner trial that’s harsher than any real sentence. Hard to watch, but honest.

Adriа Heitmann

That noose scene gave me chills! It’s been a while since I’ve seen psychological horror that intense without resorting to cheap jump scares.

Víctor Jiménez

The film walks the line between psychodrama and surreal nightmare. The horror is the collapse of consciousness where the protagonist becomes his own accuser.
