A nice queer ya that captures the fear and enclosure of small town life while *other*. While some of the supernatural elements are poorly landed, the overall twist of plot is well executed (though you're gonna guess the killer pretty quick 😎)
Graphic: Bullying, Death, Hate crime, Homophobia, Misogyny, Grief, Lesbophobia, and Abandonment
Minor: Child death, Violence, Kidnapping, Murder, and Toxic friendship
