A beautiful horror. Not that typical slasher, grotesque type but one that moves through the pain and sadness of a child experiencing the movements of grief, in a truly terrifying world. Brilliant film.
Wow and WOW - Possibly one of the BEST Elegant horror films I have EVER seen! This is an understated contemporary love letter to horror/fantasy meets reality. SUPERB VIEWING!!
Beautifully done- not so much a horror movie, but a very moving drama.
Chromecast ????????????????????????? pointless without it !!!!!!!!
Sooo good. It’s a “horror” similar to how Pan’s Labyrinth was a horror so if you’re looking for a slasher flick this isn’t it.
