The setting is ruptured by the puzzle of the disappearance of 17 children from the identical school grade who awoke and ventured out and vanished without a trace.

When the conclusion arrives, it feels expected but innovative, excellently paced to counter possible doubts of disappointment. Once the frights fade, there are remaining uncertainties about why, precisely the narrative required a multi-perspective cast.
