Actress Romola Gari's Debut Directorial Effort Brings Baggage of Wokeness to Her Film.
A somewhat Confusing Grim Tale of Supernatural Revenge.
With a Definite European Flavor, it is Coated with a Haze of Darkness. Both Figuratively and Literally.
A Soldier who Committed Rape during a Momentarily Lapse of Reason is Haunted by His Sin. That's just the Beginning of His Torment.
He is Accosted by Forces from Beyond.
Tortured to No End to Fulfill some kind of Karmic Comeuppance by Malevolent Beings who take Great Pleasure in the Revenge.
A Difficult Watch..
It Plays Out its Story Forcing the Audience to Endure Horrific Imagery of Evil as it Doles Out "Justice".
The Art-House Feel of the Film is Sadistic, Sad, and Sombre.
There is an Attic Housing a Feeble but Frightening Old Woman.
She Bites, Strangles, and Moans Constantly in Pain while Dishing it Out to Any who Dare Try and Help Her.
Some of this Makes Little Sense to the Observer. With Scant Explanation.
It might have Benefited the Director who uses Ambiguity to Intrigue.
But the Mystery is Awash in Unpleasantness that Destroys its Determinative Style.
For those with Strong Stomachs and a Taste for the Macabre, Monsters, and Sadism.
