Weird, confusing, surreal movie. More sad than scary. Also ICELAND IS BEAUTIFUL, GOOD LORD.
For the acting and the scenery...wish it had a deeper psychological impact but nice ending...
Films made in Iceland or Poland are about as bad as it gets. This turd had great scene shots of the locations. Great use of lens and acting was very good but it made little sense and lost its way after 15 minutes. To many directors attempt to over sell their vision of art and this is a great example of a film that had great potential but fell hard on its face. What was the point with this. Every once and a while a great non US effort comes out that is haunting you for years after you see it such as The Netherlands effort call THe Sielence. But this is not one of those films
Strange, better than I expected, but still strange. More of a drama with a few quality scares.
I loved this film so much. Not at all what I was expecting, but it had an emotional impact and left me thinking. Hours later, still can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a slow burn, moody, atmospheric, haunting and tragic at times.
