Brillinat slow burn tension, powerful stuff

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2016)

Let me start out by saying if you like modern horror films then step away now, you aren't going to like this as it is intelligent, finds its own pace and is dripping in originality and subtle fine performances, basically the exact opposite of most of the output passed off as horror these days. The subtle classic "witch" symbolism will probably pass the iphone brigade by, their loss. It is certainly a film that demands your attention but pays it back ten-fold and buy the end the tension is ratcheted so high you'll only notice you haven't taken a breath for the last 5 mins once the credits roll. Certainly a film that will be watched more than once, probably in Europe as I can't see the American market enjoying this, it will probably be received the same way as any film with subtitles. All in all a fantastic, original film with more originality than so many other films with 10 times the budget.
