About
You may like this if you’re drawn to eerie, psychologically tense 1960s thrillers with odd premises, especially if Paranoia or Four Flies on Grey Velvet appeal to you; Not for you if you want sympathetic characters or a straightforward crime story.
Pros: twisted love triangle; unsettling farm setting; strange, memorable premise | Cons: disturbing violence; cold characters; very offbeat tone
