Sadly due to the modern fast-paced, ‘’in your face’’ action, CGI, thriller type movies that Hollywood churns out these days most audiences just don’t appreciate or even comprehend this type of deeply cerebral film. Yes, it is a SLOW burn ~ but there really is so much information to be gleaned it has to be slow! Instead of fast-forwarding you needed to be paying attention in order to know about the ‘’why’’ and the creature!
I found the film to be disturbing as well as entertaining. It is a mixture of the macabre within the idyllic, supernatural within the faith (religious), insane within the sane, etc. Basically a study of contrasts ~ possibilities existing that should be impossible…. and the age old Good vs. Evil.
Very well acted and great cinematography. I am glad I watched and definitely recommend to anyone that enjoys a cerebral film that challenges you to use your mind!
