This is definitely for those that like weird and artsy horror films, and good movie lovers. Depends on what you like. I'm an old school horror fan and it builded on me. Movie is shot very well and the 3 actors in it do a fine job....they play such odd characters. Music was great too....the intro music was creepy. So yes....it's slow and creepy....but thats what its going for. Its not an action packed Marvel film. I have no clue why the low reviews say its bad, worst film, or boring, etc. I don't think they love movies, lol. There are hundreds of worse movies out there, maybe they don't watch much. To me, if its shot great, has good acting, keeps me interested, has me going what the hell at times and trying to figure it out, has good music, is creepy and arty, and has me looking up more about it after I watched it, then thats a good movie. It did its job. I give it a 6 or 7. The intro and outro credits even look cool, lol. Very cool new and different movie.

An abstract horror mostly. Little more context relating the two story lines would be good but it's visually stunning and gets more messed up right to the end. Some of the imagery will be stuck in my head for a while and it's been a long time since a film has done that. Disturbing stuff.

The title says it all. The acting was good, I think the story could have been more interesting, but the low-energy, life-support pace of this movie had me half asleep by the end.

I appreciate some art-house, slow-burn movies, but this one fell short.

[4/10]

If you are looking for a gore feast or have the attention span of a flea this movie is not for you.

With suburb acting, story, and production this movies is engaging from start to finish.

This film does require you to actually watch it to get the most out of the subtleties through out that give you a sense of the characters conflicts and personalities.

All in all a superb film

This movie had all the elements to hold attention and fulfill its mission. And to some extent it holds, so much that I went to the end. I don't even know why. Perhaps out of curiosity or because I had some hope of improvement. But unfortunately for some reason it never takes off. It's not entirely bad, but it's never good. It's too slow. No scares. Only a few disgusting scenes, some unnecessary. It bets a lot on the cast, but this one is lazy, with the exception of the dedicated Alec Secareanu. So, this way the film doesn't progress. The script itself is unsustainable. Superficially there is an interesting idea, but poorly executed. Watch at your own risk, but only super fans of the genre will give it high rates.
