AMAZING movie.
This was too hardcore for me. I have never not once that I can ever recall cringed and looked away in a horror movie or thriller. It was always a good rush or I was smiling etc. But my god the animal cruelty and the treatment of vulnerable people with disabilities was too much. I literally feel sad now and had to shut it off. So did they do a great job? Yes, if those things don't ruin the experience for you go for it, this will be the first movie I turn off because it was too far for me. To the other comments saying that watching gore and ppl be tortured is worse than animal cruelty, stop. Animals are innocent, much different than people in many, many ways. Eugh, gonna go to the next movie on my list.
Visually stunning, excellent pacing and the cast was incredible! Highly reccomend
I chose to watch this movie because I have enjoyed Swedish horror ever since seeing Let the Right One In. Heck, I named my cat Oskar. But from the beginning, I did not like the female leads character due to her cruel, indifferent treatment of her autistic sister. I had to turn the movie off due to the animal cruelty scene in the stairwell. That was a nope for me.
This was amazing. Unsettling, sad, sweet, and wild. I cannot believe how good all these kid actors were. I will be thinking about this one for days.
