Intriguing, terrifying, but lacking a bit (spoilers)


I like films that study the loner / loser character who has trouble talking to girls - recently saw Cuck, iGilbert, and then this.

I did not know the event in the film that sets off the stressful and horrific stuff that follows, but actually I think the initial event where things get very dark very fast - is the scariest part of this. Because what follows is crazy, of course, but what happens is actually an every day occurrence in real life and is so terrible that the depiction of it in this film will cause trauma for victims who have lived through this.

All that is to say - this film has a very disturbing scene of rape, and it's shown in such a way that its realism hits hard.

Now, there are a bunch of holes in the end of this story because in our camera-littered and constant surveillance world, it is a bit unbelievable that one could get away without being captured.

Also, as endearing as she was, the actor who played Klara sounded kind of green in her dialog.

In any case, this is an intense movie that is not for everyone.
