"Dark shadows, howling wind, creaking wood, and an enigmatic story, punctuated by subtle shocks – filmmakers Lisa Reich and Josef Zeller are intimately familiar with the stylistic devices of the psychological thriller genre and employ them with precision and a keen sense of atmosphere and timing. Like the girl Rosa, the audience is catapulted directly into the action, which they follow breathlessly until the twist-filled showdown. Editing and music enhance the impact of the atmospherically filmed images, creating a narratively captivating flow that delivers plenty of goosebumps. A compelling short film in the genre."
