✓ Characters communicate explicitly with each other and tell what they see
✓ Characters are cautious and take reasonable decisions
✓ Characters stay with each other for security, they don't split
✓ The atmosphere is scary, without artificial jump scares
❌ The story has a clear resolution
This film gracefully avoids all the horror tropes and proves that it's still possible to make a frightening movie without them. It also throws a lot of intrigues in the air and finishes like they never have been raised. It actually got under my skin, making me imagine all sorts of theories and hypothesis to explain its mystery, even though it's a lost cause considering that the author himself said he added elements to challenge the spectator, without having himself a clear explanation for their purposes in the story.
