Description:

This movie was recommended to me by Will, and I’d like to thank him before diving into the details. Our movie focuses on two 16-year-old girls who realize that things at their boarding school are not as they seem. Believing they have enrolled in a school that will shape their bright futures, the girls start noticing strange occurrences and take it upon themselves to unravel the mystery.I make it a point to watch every recommendation you send my way. Before pressing play, I usually spend about 10 minutes skimming through reviews, checking critic opinions, and looking at international ratings. That being said, this movie managed to surprise me. I initially thought, “This probably won’t be a movie I end up recommending.” But here I am, recommending it to you! Why? Because the movie’s gloomy atmosphere, performances, and storyline exceeded my expectations just slightly.Are there gaps that could have been filled? Absolutely. But if you keep your expectations modest and are looking for an hour and a half of a decent sci-fi mystery movie, this one should do the trick.Don’t forget to leave your thoughts below—I’m curious to know what you think. Enjoy!
