Koorosh N The story gives a lot of unnecessary and unanswered questions which makes you think, why is this plot even in the film? Some of the questions I did not find the answer to: - The eels started circling around Hannah, instead of eating her. Why? - About the "vitamins", how are they made? The film explains how the water is purified, however during the film we see a kind of "cure" or what they call "vitamins"; and supposedly it kills leptocephalis. How is it made? - In the scene when everyone is hypnotised, why? How exactly are they hypnotised? We also see Pembroke in the police station, saying what he doesn't mean to say; cause he clearly agreed to go to New York City. - The biggest unnecessary question, are why Baron Von Reichmerl and Hannah Von Reichmerl alive? What's their secret for living 200 years? It would be OK to have some supernatural elements is the film, but the least we can expect is an explanation for these supernatural elements. However I believe we somehow lose the blurred line between real and unreal. And also the story is much more symbolic than what we think it is. What made me think like this is Lockhart's teeth, which gets miraculously back! In any case, the cinematography was fascinating, and it kinda reminded me of Scorsese's Shutter Island (2010). Some shots are really artistic! Also I admire how Mia Goth acted in this movie. It seems that she has a good talent in acting.

I saw it quite awhile ago, and in stumbling upon it in RT, I realize I remember it all. It was compelling, haunting and gorgeous to look at. And then there's Dane. :) It's a very original story, but the ending was a tad disappointing. Still, it's very much worth the watch. Go for it. Just leave your expectations behind. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Jacob G Allow me to begin by stating this is 100% NOT a horror film. If anything, it is more of a thriller. It is very much a slow-burn for the majority of the runtime, as main character Lockheart investigates the Sanitarium institution, and clues are dropped throughout that eventually lead to the finale. I have heard many complain about the ending to this film, but to be perfectly honest, I found the resolution to be suprisingly enjoyable. Many have said it makes no sense, but if you pay attention to the clues throughout, I felt it actually makes perfect sense to reach the finale that it does. At worst, there are a few minor holes, but they can filled pretty easily with a bit of basic common sense thought, in my humble opinion. I had heard some people claim this film contained "intense body horror", but I assure you there is nothing of the sort. Without giving too much away, the worst you see are dried out bodies, most of which are covered by blankets, so you only see them from the neck up. There are also some nude bodies shown, but they appear very normal, so I'm not 100% sure where people are getting "body horror" from. All in all, if you like bizzare thrillers, with a fantasy-esqe twist, this may be for you. If you are looking for horror, look elsewhere, because you definitely won't find it here. Unless you have a phobia of eels, then maybe. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
