From the Judges
From the Judges
Detailed, vividly rendered scenes anchor a screenplay that folds a grounded coming-of-age story into supernatural horror, with grief and spiritual symbolism giving the concept a genuinely original shape. Natural dialogue lends the characters real personality, and the tension builds steadily toward a satisfying, memorable payoff. The panel found a well-drawn protagonist and a smart, emotional thread running back to her late father at the heart of this creature feature.
