Pretty dope. Moody and unsettling. I wondered how they could they could substantiate the preposterous notion of a spidery creature with the fathers visage. I buy it. Well done. Doesn't really make sense. Dream logic. Really works well like that.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar 1977

Probably similar to Funny Games, this is designed to prey on every protective instinct you have. For your children, for yourself, for the protection of others.
You can criticize the main characters for some of their choices for sure, but that's besides the point of the film. You feel helpless for them. Probably angry because you wouldn't make the same choices. But again, there's nothing you can do for these characters. And I think that's the point.
Definitely not a "fun" watch, but very well done.
