Meh.
An absolute 'Dumster Fire' of a movie, but so unique, original and committed, it just has to be seen (if you like horror, cults, rabits, storks, ancient symbolism and completely ad hoc story writing).
Michele Soavi knows how to take Argento's style and make it his own in this slow burn mystery. It's story goes from one moment to another very casually and without any motivation to scare you particularly, which is refreshing in this age of jumpscares and rapid quick cuts. It doesn't have any message or satire to convey like modern horror, which is also enjoyable. Overall, If you want to relax and watch a movie simply for it's atmosphere similar to older films, and enjoy Argento's screenplay style with a touch of Rosemary's baby influence, check this out.
if your into old school horror this movie rules! so many twists and turns...if you like crazy movies this is for you!
nonsensical, but points for style
