Character motivations are murky. Why is Rafi so personally invested? Why does Vixi trust a stranger so quickly? The film gestures toward backstories (a deleted video, a missing person case from three years ago) but never fully commits. You’ll leave wanting more context, which might be intentional for a series, but as a standalone, it feels like missing puzzle pieces.

The sound design is the real MVP: keyboard clacks that echo like gunshots, a refrigerator hum that slowly distorts into a low-frequency dread, and a brilliant use of sudden silence.

However, the script sometimes tries too hard to be cryptic. The middle third introduces a subplot about a “dead drop” in an old gaming forum that feels undercooked—it raises more questions than it answers, and not in a satisfying way.
