Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2019)

I don't even know where to begin with this. This movie is an amazing, creepy, bizarre, disgusting, beautiful, anxiety-inducing mess of a masterpiece and it was just an amazing ride.
Let me say right off the bat that if you're a classic, jump-scare-loving-horror-enthusiast that loves nothing more than ghosts, monsters and urban legends. This movie is NOT for you.
That is not to say that this movie doesn't get your blood pumping because... wow.
It starts off with the most anxiety triggering thing i have seen in a long time and leaves you almost depressed as the movie continues.
Not many horror-related/suspicious things happen until the movie reaches about the halfway-point but it really does keep you hanging on, i did not look away from the screen for one second.
The actors are amazing and you literally feel what they feel. (In spite of Jack Reynor's constant "deer-in-the-headlights" look.)
Florence Pugh did so well holding on to the emotion of her role and expressed it in such a way, i have never seen any actor do before. I will definitely look for her name in the future.
The movie in general is a straight up masterpiece, both visually and story-wise and it is rare that we get to see that these days.
This movie is centered around the feeling of helplessness and loss of control. It really feels like you are there, living it. This is also a result of the amazing cinematography this piece contains. From perfect frames that give just the right feel and the creative transitions that really helps give you a sense of stress. Oh and the special effects is something you will have to see for yourself, it is inexplicable. You really have to be a bit of a movie/cinematography nerd to fully appreciate this piece of art.
