HORROR SIGNAL
HORROR CENTRALITY

/100
The film is built around supernatural hauntings and fear as the central experience; a family’s terror and the portal to the other side are core to the premise, so removing horror would fundamentally alter the film.
DREADPICK SUMMARY
Best for viewers looking for a very scary, high-tension, atmosphere-heavy, psychological and slow-burning horror movie.
