A Surreal Dream turned Nightmare

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2019)

Let me just start by saying this film won't be for everyone. This is not a horror film in the traditional sense where something jumps out to scare you with the sound turned way up every 20 minutes. This is a deeply unsettling, slow burn, sense of impending dread kind of horror. And the less you know going in the better.
Ari Aster crafts a pitch perfect film, from the cinematography, production design and soundtrack down to the cast and script. The story and setting are truly original (yes, I've seen Wicker Man - both of them). I can honestly say I've never seen a film like this before, which is an accomplishment, especially in a genre where it's all been done before. This will be one of those films that stays with you long after it's over.
