Actual perfection, at least from an auteur's point of view. All of its parts work together completely seamlessly, never relenting on an atmosphere that does genuinely feel like a constant fight for survival in a place you're completely transported to. It even leaves what would normally be completely frustrating trial/error moments as intentional think-fast-on-your-feet segments. Combining all of the non-death cuts you get one full non-stop feature of you barely making it by at the skin of your teeth.

Influential for sure, good enough even now to reflect on and play, and impossible to divorce from what has come from it. It's as aged as the art-style, of which comes off as p nice.
