An artsy horror film

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2019)

I don't usually write reviews but this movie made me feel weird and uncomfortable in all the right ways. It's slow pace makes it almost unbearable to watch (not in a bad way, but in that great "i can't take it anymore" way that horror movies often fail to do). The plot is unlike anything i've seen before, it is original and unpredictable. The main character is complex and undergoes an amazing development.
However, I do believe that it is not a movie for everyone. Not because of the gruesome graphic violence, but because unlike other horror movies, it's understanding goes beyond it's scripts, effects and music score. I even dare to say that it seems pretentious at times.
That being said, both cinematography and visuals are amazing. The art direction generates a contrast between horror and beauty making us realize that they can coexist in the same scenery. The acting is great, especially Florence Pugh's performance.
I highly recommend it. One of the best films i've seen this year.
