- I'm so down for more horror movies that tackle trauma & vulnerability! The fact that filmmakers are finally acknowledging our shared human experiences is really interesting 
. This movie seems like it could be a game-changer for the genre, especially with its unique setting and production design 
. Can't wait to see how this one plays out 
, but what really got me was how it tackled trauma in a realistic way. It's like, we can't just ignore our pasts and expect to be okay, you know? 
the main character's flashback scenes were super intense, I felt so bad for her 
. But what I loved most about this movie is that it didn't try to resolve everything with a neat bow, instead it just left us wondering what's real and what's just our own trauma 
I don't know why people are saying that Ana's return to work after 1996 is marked by an unsettling flashback. It's actually 2025 and she just got back from leave 
. Anyway, I think the movie does a great job of exploring how trauma can manifest in different ways, even for people who seem fine on the surface. The use of setting and visuals to create unease is super effective, but I wish they had delved deeper into Ana's backstory to make her character more well-rounded 
.
️ This film is like, so deep man. It's not just about some creepy nursing home, it's about how our pasts can come back to haunt us in the most unexpected ways. Ana's story is like a mirror reflecting her own PTSD struggles, making you wonder what's real and what's just her imagination running wild 
The setting is straight out of a bad dream, but it's not just the atmosphere that makes this film unsettling – it's the way it makes you feel like you're trapped in Ana's nightmare too 
.
The setting, the visuals, everything comes together to create this sense of unease that's hard to shake off. It's like they're poking at your fears in a good way? 
. It sounds like they're tackling some heavy stuff - exploiting vulnerabilities from traumatic backgrounds is def not easy to watch or do, you feel? But at the same time, it's actually kinda refreshing to see a film that acknowledges our shared human experiences. Like, who hasn't dealt with trauma in their life or knows someone who has? 
One thing that might make this film even better is if they added some twist or surprise at the end. Just wondering how Ana's past will all tie together... 
ana's storyline is so hauntingly familiar it's like filmmakers finally got it right about how trauma can manifest in different ways 
but what really gets me is how they tackle the mental health aspect of being a first responder... it's like they're saying, hey, we get it, we're not immune to trauma either 
anyway, 8/10 would watch this again 
This latest film is a chilling exploration of how past traumas can be triggered by even the most mundane situations. The way it weaves together Ana's troubled childhood with her present-day experiences as a firefighter is masterful, leaving the viewer questioning what's real and what's just in Ana's head. The use of atmosphere and production design is superb, creating an unsettling sense of unease that's hard to shake off 
. I think this film's success lies in its ability to acknowledge the universality of trauma, rather than exploiting it for shock value. It's a minor but thought-provoking entry into the horror genre that will linger with you long after the credits roll 
.
. The setting in that old nursing home is straight outta a bad dream, and I love how it keeps you guessing until the very end 
... I mean, it showed how even when you think you're over something, it can still come back and bite you. And that setting in the nursing home? 
just saw this news about ana's flashback and i'm low-key freaking out 
i mean, i'm not saying this movie is realistic or anything but it does bring up a lot of valid points about how trauma affects us 
hope everyone who's watching it takes care of themselves afterwards
