Seen during the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

This probably isn't the best review you'll read as it's been a while since I've posted anything. However, for this film, I'm happy to make the effort.

Words cannot describe how uncomfortable I felt watching the film. The social awkwardness, miscommunication and remote setting make this a very uncomfortable movie to watch. Not to mention the last 30 minutes, where the film turns from a psychological thriller to a twisted horror with horrendous graphic violence (I mean that in the good sense).

I was not yet familiar with Christian Tafdrup's work, but he is definitely putting himself on the map with this film.

Suitable for: People who don't want to sleep at night and have had a lot of fun watching movies like Hereditary and Midsommar.

Not suitable for: People who are going to watch this with their partner. You will get bruises and tears will flow.

PS. I'm from the Netherlands myself, and we're not that bad. As long as you do what we say.

This somehow reminded me of the much praised movie 'Get Out' from 2017. You know that some things are off, and that there will be a big reveal coming, after building up characters, atmosphere and plot.

But the last 15 minutes or so, annoyed me and actually ruined it for me. When someone threatens the life of you or your family, even without carrying or using any weapons, you at least try to put up a fight, don't you?

I was left shocked when the movie ended! My hands where all sweaty end i felt uneasy! The movie is a slow burn, that does a good job of creating tension that slowly increases before the climax, which is very hard to watch! You know something is wrong and something bad is gonna happen, but you are still not prepared...The movie has a very provocative nature as it mocks the Danish culture and whay of living.

The movie also have tones from other great horror movie directors such as Ari Aster, Robert Eggers and Jordan Peele as it slowly crawls under your skin!

The movie is not for everyone, and will both dissapoint and exceed expectations.
