Weird and Wonderful

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2020)

It's obviously a hit or miss film, and as you can see from other reviews, people either love it or hate it. For me, someone who is nearly impossible to scare-I mean jump scares do absolutely nothing for me-this the best kind of horror: slow-burning, subtly eerie, and deeply disturbing. It's good in all the same ways Hereditary is good (although Hereditary is definitely darker and more "scary"), especially in the the way it pulls from real-world cultural mythos and therefore feels like it could all be really happening somewhere. If you prefer more traditional horror or slasher films, you probably won't like it. But if you like things more cerebral, emotional, uncomfortable, and psychological disturbing, you probably will!
