Tuason builds his film around sudden noises and the uncertainty of the partially glimpsed or unseen. The real stars of this clever one-location set-up are sound designer David Gertsman and mixer Jon Lawless, a team who manage to wring a jump-scare out of a dripping tap. Kiri gives a layered performance that foregrounds the strain that eclipses grief for a long-time carer.

Nine Inch Nails do most of the heavy lifting for a sequel that nobody asked for to a sequel that nobody loved. If only most of the dialogue didn't sound like a glitchy AI wrote it. Tron: Ares is less ponderous than Tron: Legacy, and the music is turned up to 11 in the hope you won't notice all the shortcomings.
