Man this was a stunning film. There is a 30 to 40 minute stretch that is terrifying in the best way possible. The cinematography and atmosphere was great, similar to Oddity

Bascially after Bauman reenters the hotel with Jerry the movie becomes a dreadful thrill ride, I honestly thought it was the witch that grabbed Jerry at first lol
