Horror Film of the Decade

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2018)

If you need your films spoon-fed to you with elaborate explanations of everything the characters do, this is not the film for you. if you are incapable of filling in the blanks in what is seen onscreen, this is not the film for you. If you get bored if there isn't an explosion every few seconds, this is not the film for you.
If you want a superbly acted piece of unique storytelling that leaves the audience curious and hungry for more - this is the film for you. If you want a horror film with real depth in its characters - this is the film for you. If you want a film that unapologetically refuses to waste time on exposition, instead demanding creativity from its audience - this is the film for you.
I don't give out ten star ratings. I had said that I never would - there is always something left to improve. I stand corrected. This film is a pure gem from start to finish, and I would not change a thing. I fear many people may miss the genius of this film while looking for the standard horror tropes. This film is like an artist experimenting with negative space - constantly challenging the audience to fill in the blanks. To some, it might be off-putting, but for me it was refreshing and simply brilliant - the type of narrowly focused storytelling that calls to mind the best parts of Gravity, Twelve Angry Men, and The Martian.
Films like this are the reason I go the movies!
