First I want to say that I am their fun and I have seen all the videos from the guys for years. I don't miss a single one of their livestreams.
Positives: unbelievably good cinematography by Alekos with incredible shots that I actually expected. The actors' performances are very good with the one of the bright one standing out. The music and sound gave me quite a chill.
And this is where the negatives start: The script and plot border on mediocrity as it was nothing we haven't seen before. You put in supernatural events happening that didn't even depend in the movie. At one point I started laughing and in a scene with the bright girl we all know who she is now. The ending wasn't predictable the truth is because it simply didn't even make sense. I didn't connect with the characters in the movie at all because I think there were more scenes and dialogue missing as far as their back story is concerned. Guys really the ending was something I can't forget. It felt like you guys wanted to get it over with and really send it.
Conclusion: The film was a good effort for the Greek horror scene. For God's sake don't expect it to be a generally good effort of world-class calibre like this. For 7 people who made it it is obviously the best you will see from a film by such people. ( Horror films have a small budget anyway ) I bet you could have done better and I bet you can do better because I don't think after that kind of support it's the only one you'll get.

I have been following UH since 2018 and their growth in the matter of film shooting, editing and composing has gone to extremely high levels. This movie proves that. However, it should not be viewed as your average horror movie. There is deep symbolism and underlaying themes, motifs that the Karpas Brothers have shown in their previous short films "Lurking Near" and "Breakfast". The only problems with the movie for me were the way dialogue was delivered and the unnecessary number of long takes, accompanied by black screen. Overall, it is the best possible setting stage for Greek horror movies yet to come.
Judging it as viewer and not as a fan.
The movie was as expected from such as small crew with no experience on this field. Predictable story outcome, static images, not a lot of camera movement, same/similar shots etc. I don't know if there is an influence from all the horror games you've played, but I could see a pattern here. Definitely, the movie needed more characters and also, a little bit of faster dialogs, it was way too dramatic and at some point you start getting bored because you can predict what's coming. The sound design was exceptional for me and overall, I would say it was a very very good try for the first time.
Generally, it was different approach on this genre for this country and it is worthy to go check it out.
Aim big, go bigger!
Best of luck to the next one!

Atmosphere is amazing, building from the beginning the anxious and horror elements!
Dialogues are way boring and without meaning.
Story plot: there was something interesting in it.
Cameras angles are way out of our standards from other Greek movies and the director should work on bigger project 100%.
Actors: he try to be one in the movie, with a nice try(Man) She is an actor and well played (female)
Proud to see this movie from our beloved team and family.
Music and soundtracks are killing it, this might be the second best thing about the movie!!!
For cinemas it could be much better, taking advantages of transitions and without speech some scenes.

This is my first review, so if the movie motivated me to write one means that the movie did something wrong. First of all let's begin with the good aspects of the movie. Lighting and in general the picture was quite good. The sound didn't make you feel that you were watching a horror film. Now about the plot... Was there any? The female lead was quite good but that wasn't enough to make a horror film. The film felt quite repeating. Some scenes were too long too long even for the dramatic effect that they were trying to achieve. The movie was decent for the first try. But definitely it's not worth the 8+ that all the people above me are giving it.
