Viewing Notes

The eleventh movie for my 31 in 31 horror challenge. A lot of style in this psychological thriller but not very satisfying. The sound design and atmosphere doesn’t make up for the tedium in the storytelling. It’s as though more time was spent on the production than developing a solid through line. Seems intentionally obtuse at times which doesn’t help no matter how well the film looks.
