3.0

A deeply unsettling tale of obsession and a slowly unravelling mind. Blends the magic with the mundane expertly. The final act is jaw-clinchingly tense. I just think the ideas here could have been pushed further, and there were some slow moments despite the short length. Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend to any lover of fairy folklore.
