This was clearly a covid movie (if not in reality but at least in conception) and while I don't think it's quite as smart as it thinks it is, I like what it did. There are good performances from Rachel Shelley and Heida Reed. Director Natalie Kennedy does a lot with a little. I don't think the overall story works but I also think it's more "metaphor" and "fable" than "this is meant to be reality."

For me, this falls in the "this was interesting more than was good" category for me, but I tend to like those movies the most. I feel like people have watched this movie expecting one thing (basically, a horror movie) and were disappointed when they didn't get that. I appreciate this movie for what it is and what it was trying to do. I hope more people watch it.

(Still just a VOD rental but I'm guessing it will be "free" soon enough.)
