Kent Cheng's trembling everyman vs Simon Yam's ice-cold predator energy.

Direction

Billy Tang's claustrophobic framing traps you in Cheung's nightmare.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you need to feel better about your bad decisions.·Rewatch: Catching every sweaty panic attack you missed the first time.
Heads up:Violence: Nasty practical effects including a memorable fire stunt gone wrong.·Disturbing: Family-endangerment tension that crosses into genuinely uncomfortable territory.
