For a movie with blind and deaf representation, the complete lack of subtitles for the ASL was extremely annoying, missing out on dialogue but will gladly caption the 10 hour long scene of trees whistling?
I love slow burn movies, but this? This isn’t a slow burn, the match wasn’t even lit. There were so many unanswered questions, why was he doing this? What was his motive? Were they truly his daughters? What was the significance of him being a dodgy doctor who got his sausage out for kicks?
Don't trust the rating on this one. If you like good horror and have an attention span bigger than a goldfish, you'll like this movie. It's not a 5/5 skulls, more of a 3. 5, just a shame I almost passed it up on the 2/5 it had.
there's a grand total of about 10 minutes of little parts of a plot, the rest is those dreaded long shots. 3 substandard guitar songs played by the blind sister, 15 minutes of cartwheels, long conversations with only sign language. Some good ideas, but I still have no idea what this was about. Bad Dad who's a doctor doing medical experiments on his daughters? i honestly dont get why an audience would sit through this. At a brief 78 minutes, it felt like 2 hrs. It made me depressed because I wanted to see a good horror film to shake off some holiday blues, but a good plot with suspense is absolutely required. I couldnt stay focused on this.
I enjoyed it and don't regret watching. The horror is in the contemplation though, heads up.
