Conceptually, while this was certainly interesting, it wasn't anything that felt wildly original or like something you haven't seen some sort of iteration of before. Logistically it also didn't feel like it had that much effort towards validity backing it and definitely requires you to not have a really critical eye, accept suspension of disbelief and don't ask too many questions.

This was more of a long winded drama with horror/thriller/comedy aspects that largely addressed trauma grief and healing. While the themes were loud and clear, I don't know if the actual message was. It gave off very "this is a movie with a message " vibes, but felt a little aloof and noncommittal when it came to actually giving us something.

I will say I was never bored while watching this and I think that is mainly due to the acting and a decent script. The casting director killed it on this one. Everyone gave very good and natural performances that kept me engaged. I particularly enjoyed the lead woman and her blonde friend. I almost wished the majority of the movie was consolidated to the first half and it kept going for a bit where the movie actually ended.

Regardless I think it was successful as is. I do think it was missing a little meat... a little substance to the story and plot but it was still entertaining. Would recommend.
