Brilliant film
A really clever film demonstrating how one person can have complete control over another, and how submersive and insidious it can be. It's a supremely cruel way of dismantling another person's mind, and the term gaslighting is now used in psychological circles to describe this type of mental torchure. Very very clever psychological thriller. Highly recommended.

Unnerving thriller with lots of different threads
While elements of this psychological thriller seem far-fetched, there's something ghoulish and almost Stephen King-like in its approach.
Following the narrative of Ed, the teacher recounts his childhood with his friends and the time they found the dismembered body of a young woman. In the meantime, chalk drawings keep appearing, and take a life of their own.
While the ending is startling and worth listening to the finish, at times the back and forth narrative from past to future becomes convoluted and can be hard to keep track, let alone concentrate. A good thriller, but with a lot of loose ends.

This psychological thriller is reminiscent of The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins and Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris. It offers an inventive twist halfway through the book instead of at the end and yet continues to surprise until its conclusion. Definitely worth the wait!

An addictive read! The storyline grabbed me straight away. This psychological thriller is full of twists and turns. One minute you feel sorry for one of the characters, the next you are left wondering! A great mix of characters some you like and some you hate. Great writing.
