Leaves more to be desired

Normally, I would rate this episode 6/10, but due to superb acting I changed my mind and rate it 7/10 instead.

The story itself is really interesting, as it focused the relations between a mother and her son. She was underpaid and had rough life after leaving her husband. The story really captures the stress they had and how they tried to survive with little amount of money. Meanwhile, a supernatural entity is trying to get a hold on the child and strange things start happening between them.

There are certain things not explained properly, and some scenes felt so abrupt which leaves more to be desired. The story would make sense after some explanation, but that doesn't change the fact that they're not explored in a proper way.

Another great one by an horror master

Great small movie by Joko. You are expecting the plot twist, but not the double plot twist!

Great message also about family, some beautiful shots/sequences and he created a really good atmosphere, even if the jump scares mostly don't work.
