A effective creepy horror that ends in a similar fashion to how it began.

So we have Kat, a single mother, with her child Sybil, as they decide to move away from their city they live in due to having issues with Sybil at school and Kat just kind of being a fuck up. Kat learns of her mother's passing and decides to take a trip out to the town she grew up in since her mother left her the house anyway. What starts as a typical family drama soon turns into a hellish nightmare as this town isn't what it seems.

I personally really enjoyed this. I'm a sucker for family/life drama. And watching Kat and Sybil try to make ends meet on top of dealing with this weird children of the corn like vibe town was great. I also really enjoyed the art, captures this mysterious town well. The ending comes as a shock in ways but also expected. Don't expect a very happy ending here.

I did think it can get a bit too wordy at points but besides that I really dug this one. A 4 out of 5.
