I love the horror genre despite the fact that it produces so many awful movies. This is an obscure little movie that got a lot of attention on the festival circuit and good reviews but is not known by the general public. I have not been able to watch it yet but was looking forward to it. Hope I disagree with your assessment once I finally do.

I love indie horror movies too, I'm not some kind of artless girl that was trying to watch something like "the ring" :p, it's overrated and I'm disappointed because I was expecting something more than this. "You're Next" still my favorite indie movie from the past 5 years.

I'm into indie horror films like this one, this is all about symbolism and not about what they're literally showing. the music is nice and the direction, but the premise and the story/hidden meanings, nothing spectacular like the critics are saying.


have you seen under the skin?

So you call it an overrated piece of shit? Interesting.

Seriously, why not put that in the OP instead of that cheeky title of yours?

Just saw Nightcrawler the other night for the first time. Really outstanding movie and a great performance by Gyllenhaal. Been meaing to check out Antiviral but haven't yet. Pretty good, huh?

I guess that I need better education.

If what I understand from what you are saying and what the film is about hold hands together, this may be a case of critics praising style, perhaps? Style vs substance? Maybe there is some praise due to the fact that it has the indie background and it is competently directed and acted?

Maybe a lot of things are left to interpretation, like it was for The Babadook?

I pay close attention to how scenes are filmed, I sometimes get charmed about "how" one thing is portrayed over "what" is portrayed. Style can make me like films other people find boring. I wonder if this is the case here.

Thanks for keeping spoilers at minimum.
