You HAVE to see this movie!
This has to be one of the greatest films on ...it's subject matter. I don't want to say what that is, because it would partially spoil the surprises and twists. The score is PERFECT, the voices are completely audible, and the sound during the intense scenes becomes almost grating, before releasing suddenly filling the viewer with the intensity that the characters are experiencing, and the relief of released tension. The special effects are haunting and long lasting.
I find it incredible that this is an independent film, it has the production quality of a Hollywood blockbuster, it is very believable, and the characters show a quality that is rarely duplicated in even the best that Hollywood has to offer, that quality is pure, unconditional love and a perfect example of unconditional love towards one who is suffering from a traumatic experience. The camerawork draws you in even more, and the plot keeps you guessing all the way to the final, satisfying scenes.
I have a long history of research, and practice of the material included within this film and it is the most accurate depiction of this world that I have ever seen. Indeed it has even inspired me to dust off my books and dive back into it, which is saying a LOT. I had been suffering from my utter loss of fear, as it shook my belief to it's core, and I had trouble seeing the magic in anything outside of delusion or hallucination, my world was completely mundane, not that I was unhappy about it, but I did miss the magic and this film has brought it back into my life in full force.
Several scenes gave me goosebumps. I don't get goosebumps from horror, I typically get laughs. I can not emphasize enough how incredible and wonderful and wholly accurate this film is, nor the success it has in sweeping the viewer along through all the mystery.
If you wonder why this movie has such a low rating, it's easy, the people rating it have absolutely no idea about the reality of the world depicted in this film, or were so beyond terrified they hated the experience it provided, or they did not finish watching it.
The soundtrack only contained a few audible songs, but the one that really stood out was one of the most poetic and beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, and even that song was perfectly selected for the unexpected direction the scene takes (you'll know the one I'm talking about, especially if you are watching with good subtitles).
This one is definitely a permanent fixture in my collection. I've not seen such a well researched, shot, scored, and acted film since As Above, So Below, and if you enjoyed that movie, you should DEFINITELY check this one out, as you will not be disappointed.
