This is Suspense at its finest—a psychological thriller that eschews the cheap thrills of monsters and mayhem in favor of something far more terrifying: the destruction of a man's mind. The sound design is immaculate, with every ambient noise amplified and distorted to create an atmosphere of mounting dread. By the time the final twist arrives, listeners will find themselves holding their breath, uncertain what's real and what's merely the fevered imagination of a desperate protagonist.
