I saw this for free on Amazon Prime after subscribing to one of the only Gay media channels they offer through their service. I slogged through almost two hours of muted, grey color schemes. A bland narrative that takes far too much time to actually get to the point. Then once reach the end the climax is such a bore it’s not even worth watching the last five minutes. Hard pass.
If you're looking for a slasher, jump scare horror movie, go look elsewhere. If you're looking for a well crafted psychological thriller/mystery/suspense movie, you might like this one! Great acting, superbly shot, loved it!
One of the best films I’ve seen in a long time. If you like when everything is spelled out for you, then this film is not for you. After watching it, you’ll be keen to discuss. Loved it. Very thought-provoking and intriguing.
Not horror.
One of the most well shot "horror" films I've ever seen. Not in the most traditional sense of horror, but that's what makes it the most interesting. Mixes drama, psychological weirdness, and suspense perfectly. There is A LOT that happens and it's not hard to get lost, especially at the end, but it didn't feel rushed. Well done.
