It could've been a great movie. The story is very well-developed but near the ending it kind of loses its focus a bit. 8 out of 10 for me.

Fantasy body horror with sepia and contrast dialed up to eleven. Starts off with realism, unfortunately the characters are uninteresting and unlikeable juveniles with no redeeming or relatable characteristics. Veers off into a mystery fantasy orgy of art nouveau, dolls and ballet as if trying to lean into finer arts, but tries way too hard and comes off as clumsy and tacky. Final act switches gears again and heads off into the horror with a finale that is unimpressive in both reveal and execution. Foreshadowing feels like checkboxes and the side story is a chore At least the resolution has something neat to offer, though it feels slightly ripped off from elsewhere as well.

Amazing concept, the look of the movie is on point, but it just doesn't hit like it should, it feels like it could be something special, just never quite pays off, would recommend still though, the ending is very scenic

I've been wanting to see this for so long and big thanks to Shudder for making this available in the US. This is the definition of a film that doesn't know when to stop. It starts off promising with its home invasion/haunted house premise but then a whole bunch of other ideas kick in, it starts to go off the rails and not in an entirely enjoyable fashion. I'm not sure about some of the transitions and placement of flashbacks. That said though, the film is saved by a couple of fantastic moments. It contains some really compelling imagery, some chilling scares, and there's enough blood for the gore hounds. Had they made up their mind this could've been a much better film.

It has been almost a decade since I last saw this film, and I completely missed the narrative tie-in/continuity with these filmmakers earlier hit, “Inside” (2007). Upon re-watch, I found this to be an deftly handled meta-narrative rebuttals towards those who failed to see the beauty in the simpl More
