Caveat

Pretty unsettling movie that unfortunately felt bloated for a short film. This film has some iconic imagery, but the rest of it is a slog. I wonder what happened after the ending...

This is the second time I am watching this and I stand by how bloated this feels. It's not boring, but there's a lot of information in this that could be cut down. I also don't like how clunky the amnesiac part of this is. I think it really comes down to pacing and how this progresses that's my biggest issue. Personally, I vibe with this a lot, but it feels like it's missing something.

That being said however, this might be one of the scariest movies I have seen. There are jump-scares sure, but the ones in this without the noise are some of the freakiest things I have ever seen. Even on a second watch, I am still a bit paranoid watching this. I think this captures claustrophobia in a way that most movies can't. Also, the use of shadows in this is brilliant!

Actually, thinking on this, I like this a bit more then the first time I watched it. This really had a way of sticking with me. Comparing this to Oddity, I would call this the better film.
