Trivia
Teodora Mihai met with Miriam Rodriguez, the real-world protagonist of the story in 2015. At first, the film was supposed to be a documentary but it posed too much danger for the crew to be around Ms Rodriguez, who was murdered shortly after they've met.

Mostly, the film is very Effective

There are many great things about this film, it captures a horrific reality with the kind of realism that we basically never see out of Hollywood. At the same time however, I do feel the film did miss in a few important areas as well. Nonetheless, this is a scary film because of its realism. Mostly the film is very effective. In all honesty, this is easily more gut wrenching than Sound of Freedom, mainly because the scenes here mostly feel even far more real. Most people don't even want to see films like this, films this authentic feeling, films this scary. Nonetheless, if you're interested, it's definitely well worth a look in my view.

7/10.
