About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an uncompromising, grief-fueled psychological horror that’s as unsettling as it is intense, in the vein of Possession or Climax; Not for you if explicit sex, extreme violence, or bleak themes are dealbreakers.
Pros: intense emotional descent; gripping, eerie atmosphere; strong lead performances | Cons: graphic sexual content; brutal, upsetting violence; ambiguous, divisive meaning
