Overview
Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence ‘the sea’ refers to a large armchair and ‘zombies’ are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.

Viewing Notes
Next was a film I’ve heard so much about during the year including a few people who placed this at the top of their 2010 list. Had to see it. Dogtooth (2009) premiered at the start of year and is a hard film to describe with giving away what makes it so special. It just needs to be experienced. Go in with no expectations and let it unfold before you. Definitely another I can see revisiting.
