What People Are Saying

Zammit shows ambition in blending multiple genres, but the tonal shifts between police procedural, sci-fi, and horror don't always cohere. His previous film Witch was more focused.

— editorial

The script has an identity crisis — it wants to be a detective thriller, an AI cautionary tale, and a nightmare horror film simultaneously. The exposition dumps slow the pacing considerably.

— crowd consensus

The cast gives committed performances, especially the over-the-top villain who chews scenery with gusto. The lead brings gravitas to the damaged detective role even when the script doesn't fully support him.

— editorial

The low budget shows in the sci-fi elements, but Zammit makes creative use of lighting and practical effects to sell the nightmare sequences. The London locations add atmosphere.
