Loved this film

Watched on Day 2 of Glasgow Frightfest.

Not what I'd expected from the title. I loved this and it was my top film of the weekend at Frighfest Glasgow 2025.

The firefighter setting gave me "Rec" vibes, but this is a very different film and it quickly took on a life of its own. The set d signs were first class with great colour tones mixing with the torrential rain to add to a rotting and fetid atmosphere.

Effective in every aspect at ramping up the tension and then maintaining it for the duration. Really tight editing and storytelling ensure there are no baggy moments.

What elevated this to top tier though was the brilliant performances by all the cast, but especially those by Marjorie Estonia's Ana and the two young girls playing the young Ana and Lia.
