Absolutely horrific and incredible filmmaking

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2020)

This movie definitely won't be for everyone, and I probably won't ever watch it again, but damn am I glad I saw it.
I'm a huge horror fan, but I think modern horror films often depend too much on jump scares and quick movement. This movie did the exact opposite. It took its time building dread and existential terror, fully immersing you in the nightmare. The intentional juxtapositions left my skin crawling. I don't know about you, but I don't watch horror movies to feel comfortable.
This movie was incredibly effective and unlike anything else I've ever seen. Excellent filmmaking on every level. I agree with other reviewers in that it felt like a bad trip, but I disagree with the claim that that's a bad thing.
