REVIEW

This one landed at a solid 6.5 for me and I decided to round up to a 7 as I am a bit biased towards folk horror.

The story, while a tad slow paced, was engaging and atmospheric. The plot was interesting and they kept it just slightly confusing enough to where I somehow did not see that twist at the end coming, even though I felt I totally should have hahaThe acting was pretty on point the whole time, everyone seemed to have done a solid job. I enjoyed the mix of the two languages, it added another dimension to the story while also giving it a sense of relatability as an English speaker.

Technically, the movie also shinned, it looked and sounded great.The third act was by far the best part and while it took a bit to get there, the first two thirds were enjoyable as well. I think it would’ve been a bit more successful if they had shaved some of the dead space off or sprinkled a little bit of the magic that the third act had into the first two.

Would definitely recommend!!
