Our take
A horror-inflected update on the tradition of British realism, Claire Oakley’s singular debut blends romantic obsession with the wintry spookiness of off-season seaside resorts. Unforgettable as toxic lovers, Molly Windsor and Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) captivate with their blistering chemistry.
