Viewing Notes

via Netflix

A film archivist sees footage revealing that his happy home was once the scene of a gruesome murder, which casts evil shadows upon his present life.  There are some really interesting ideas here and I liked how it was playing out for the most part.  They leave it a bit ambiguous and I loved the inclusion of the older style film camera.  While the acting is quite good, it kind of falls apart a bit when it ceases to be ambiguous and goes one way on us and then another later.  It’s well done I just wish it could figure out where it wanted to go with this rather then kind of leaving the viewer hanging on what’s been going on.
