Horror Vault's take

Simi, a self-conscious teenager, arrives at her celebrated nutritionist aunt's rural home hoping for guidance over the Easter break — instead she finds a household wrapped in tension, unspoken rules, and a creeping sense of wrongness she can't quite name. What begins as an awkward family visit quietly curdles into something far darker, as the aunt's hold over those around her reveals itself to be far more consuming than a simple diet plan. Austrian folk horror sensibilities and a suffocating domestic setting make this a deeply uncomfortable portrait of a young woman pushed to her limits. The film earns its dread through restraint, letting the disquiet build until the Easter weekend itself becomes something to fear.
