It kicks off as a sort of YA drama with some effective cringe moments. It's painfully of the times, going through a checklist of modern buzzwords and social media references. However, it handles this with tact, and while some of the social commentary may be a little on the nose, it finds clever ways to lampoon mental health opportunists and showcase the contrast between internal and external personas.
Then it goes off the rails into full blown horror, and doesn't hold back on some surprisingly brutal kill scenes. Once it takes off, it's a bit predictable, but still fun to watch play out. It illuminates the terror with a tapestry of well composed visuals and a dark sense of humour. Aisha Dee is fantastic as the title character, garnering a strange sympathy as things become increasingly unhinged. An unexpected gem.
