O clima gótico é muito marcante, elegante e bem construído. Gostei da iluminação e da fotografia crua dando um tom diferente pra mansão. Tem uma edição que dá o ritmo certinho pro suspense e pras visões da protagonista.
O filme não depende de jumpscares, ele usa a dor, a espiritualidade Maori pra criar um terror histórico e a importância cultural. Isso causa um peso diferente.

the pacing undercut the characters and the ending never quite justified the buildup still it’s impressive directorial debut

I was so hyped for this and in the end I was left very underwhelmed and disappointed by what was on offer

Gorgeous photography and a great lead performance carry a film that ultimately feels cobbled together and hollow

I can respect what they attempted but this is a miss for me personally

It's a brilliant concept, but it feels like it falls a bit short - it only really comes alive toward the end. I can say I was hooked by the end, but otherwise, the way it was filmed - in the actual locations - was excellent in terms of atmosphere. Still, it feels like they didn't let it be even more brutal and gritty.
