It took a bit to get into this, but the tense feeling of knowing that something is going on that's causing this city to slowly sink and the appearances in her basement kept me very interested. The dynamic between the main characters was definitely the most fascinating aspect of this for me. The ending felt a little disjointed and didn't explain things quite well enough for me. I know that this was mainly horror, but with so many sci-fi elements, I really feel like it would have benefited from a bit more of the science being added.
