This thriller needed a theater to bring out its full impact. The cinematography relied on dim lighting and long shadows that lost their depth on smaller screens. The movie built tension slowly and required focus to appreciate its unsettling atmosphere. Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson gave intense performances that depended on small details and controlled expressions. Watching at home made distractions easy. The film’s dark tone would have been stronger in a large theater where every moment felt heavier.
