It's a competent thriller that hits all the expected beats—man wakes up, wife missing, clock ticking—but there's nothing here that makes you *question* the form itself. Feels like it's playing the genre straight when I wanted it to break it.
A formally controlled descent into dread; the mountain setting and disorientation recall a specific lineage of European thriller craft, though it doesn't quite achieve the geometric precision of its influences.
The choice to sustain ambiguity about whether this man is victim or perpetrator—layered entirely through performance and what *isn't* explained—is what transforms this from a genre exercise into something that actually breathes.
