The film follows Cara, a young woman involved in online sex work while grappling with episodes of maladaptive daydreaming, stemming from a traumatic past in an institution. Her experiences reveal a palpable disdain for her work, set against the stark reality of low-budget filmmaking that fails to effectively merge psychological drama with horror elements. The film's tone wavers between realistic psychological portrayals and exaggerated horror, ultimately struggling to engage audiences of either genre. The final moments attempt to elevate the horror aspect, yet the execution does not fully resonate, leaving a disjointed overall experience.
"Cara... is a troubled young woman engaged in online sex work, earning a meagre living and experiencing episodes of maladaptive daydreaming that her therapist fears indicate a drift into psychosis."
"While the film mixes psychological drama and extreme horror, it struggles to blend these tones effectively, limping along between wanting to be edgy and genuine."
