The opening scene captured the eeriness of the originals. Yet this is a masterful film in its own right. Brilliantly executed by cast and crew, the editing is fantastic as are the performances. Nell Tiger Free has a scene reminiscent of Isabelle Adjani's subway scene in Possession (1981). She does a good job as lead, though I can see some of her work in Servant (2019) seep into her character here, so she still has some way to go as an actor-artist. Nonetheless she carries the film well and creates a believable performance.
The story is well crafted and the pace is good, I didn't once look at my watch for the duration of the film. In fact I wanted it to go on for longer.
It's rare these days to have such an enjoyable experience with horror at a cinema. Highly recommended and I hope to see a sequel to this.
