Extremely entertaining and brutal.

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2020)

Tense horror film that dedicates sufficient time to developing its narrative and not a second more; the descent from naivete into pragmatic ferocity is as compelling as the tightly crafted setting. Stewart is great as the restrained, effective, 'socialized' Nazi, who orchestrates the cruelty rather than partake of it himself. The realism distinguishes this outing from later A24 horror from the likes of Aster, which would incorporate supernatural or psychologically twisted elements almost by default.
