The short version:A suffocating psychological horror that weaponizes dread and deeply unsettling relationship dynamics rather than jump scares, as a supernatural wish turns romantic obsession into a nightmare spiral of murder, self-destruction, and no redemption. Main warnings: suicide, self-harm, brutal murder, and an abusive controlling relationship.
