Revising this to a full five star. The most fucking insane thing I have ever watched. I was completely dumbfounded for 45 minutes straight. Insane. Flawless. I don’t know what the fuck to say. But also it is fucking horrible and should be deleted from history
Edit - a flawless execution of human creativity
Impeccable. Half porn and half dogshit 80s horror. You could never guess what would happen next. EVER. Flawless
Visually this is one of the most stunning films I have ever seen. On the other hand I have no idea what just happened but they fit so much story into an hour and twenty minutes. That’s not to say it’s a bad story though it was very interesting and incredibly well written. Very poignant monologues paired with beautiful shots makes it a movie you can really feel.
So glad I finally watched this. Also happy to see my first Bergman film
Visceral and actually, intensely horrifying. The scene when he first gets to the castle made me want to crawl out of my skin. So much to unpack, I’ve barely started.
People think of the conjuring or insidious when horror is brought up but in my opinion this is the epitome of what the genre should be
