Beautiful and haunting
Slow but worth every minute. Be ready to sit, listen, and let this fascinating story unfold.
Definitely not horror, but a well done art piece. Something you might have running in the background while working.
I’m on Shudder primarily for the straight forward horror. But this movie was a pleasant surprise. It reminded me of 2001 A Space Odyssey a bit. Plus, Tilda Swinton can read me a recipe and I’ll be rapt with attention!!!
Y'know, it was a little slow and not a lot going on. but i thought it was really really good!! As much as I'm a fan of bloody, intense, zany horror movies. I also have love for artsy horror films like this and Skinamarink. I think this movie perfectly encapsulates the Lovecraftian existentialism that i love so much. There's not a lot going on at all but the mood is there, the atmosphere is there. I've never had a film that scared me with a black screen and a red glowing orb in the middle but, in the scene where she's talking about the sun and what's wrong with it and then it jumpscares you with a BLACK SCREEN *mwah* 10/10 Over all I'd give this movie a personal 8-9/10
