An exquisite psychological horror

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2014)

I've been very excited about this release and was not disappointed. It follows the story of a young mother and her son, both very isolated and suffering from her sons apparent social problems.
The meticulously executed cinematography and mise en scene from the beginning give you a chill from the first moment of the film - every single set, shot, piece of furniture and lighting angle add to the creepiness not just of the location, but of the mother and sons insipid world which is shrouded with the traumatic death of the father and husband of the family some years earlier.
We don't get a full glimpse of the force stalking the family, only subtle hints in shadows and atmospheric effects throughout the film.
A mix of psychological horror, thriller and possession story that will be a delight for any horror movie fan.
