Not as disturbing as it should be

Rating: 3/10 (1 May 2016)

This is a horror movie without much substance or much tension really. What makes it stand out though is the atmosphere and the cinematography. How it just doesn't try to go into that generic Hollywood horror flick genre direction. However this needed to take the rawness to another level. Because it felt like the director was holding back in certain areas and lacked the gut-wrenching moments that it needed. The trailer made this movie seem more terrifying than it really is. I think going in a more art-house direction with more surreal elements would have really benefited this film. It's like the director had one foot in and one foot out when it came to making a genuinely raw film. This movie tries to give the audience an illusion of suspense and tension. Despite there being few haunting imagery, when it comes to this movie as a whole it comes off lacking when it comes to making it a engraving experience. Overall, it had potential to be a really haunting and visceral experience but faltered. Instead it just came off as a bleak and nihilistic movie.
3.6/10
