Meh.
in turns, corny...maudelin...and frankly...as an oldster...condescending.

A messy product riddled with plot holes pushed towards a certain audience that Netflix is losing because it has forgotten how to make meaningful content.

Not mysterious, not scary, not intriguing...etc.

JMHO

Full disclosure... I write horror fiction, so I am a tough critic on this sort of entertainment.
