At first glance, the film presents a regular evening when three students complete an assignment the old-school way - in a library surrounded by books. However, while their research might be underway away from screens, something forces them to pay attention to their phones.
The three soon begin to receive horrifying videos that completely alter the course of this mundane night. As violence makes its presence felt, it becomes clear that a terrible entity has the library, and the fate of those inside it, in its grip. The narrative does a zealous job of employing a fixed physical space to invoke horror, alongside the devotion of its cast and makeup department to portray it all for the viewer.
The moment thus presented is suspended in time within the brevity of the end result which wastes no beats, and in the process, keeps the storytelling and the subsequent narrative, controlled, engaging, and tight all along.
