Viewing Notes

Now I know why there was all the buzz at FF2015. It’s remarkable a movie like this has opened wide in the US. It’s a total arthouse horror flick. I love it. Already looking forward to viewing again to pick up on the things I missed or mis-heard. One of the things I really like here is how nothing is telegraphed or overly explained. Thank you.
