Audience Member A young girl becomes the new receptionist of a hotel and finds out that the old one, whom she resembles, disappeared mysteriously. Creepy but joyless and unfulfilled. A lot of atmosphere which frustratingly remains unused. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member If you're expecting a horror movie in the Hollywood sense of the word, you will be disappointed. This very beautifully shot and acted movie is rather a mystery - even in the sense that at the end of the movie you still don't know what really happened. When Irene starts working at a hotel in the Austrian Alps, she finds out that her predecessor Eva didn't just leave, but disappeared. Her glasses are still in a drawer in her former room. One of the possible explanations is occult: Eva has fallen victim to the 'witch of the woods' and Irene is bound to be her next victim. Her co-workers turn hostile on Irene when she starts asking questions about the disappearance of Eva, who's glasses she is - seemingly to provoke - wearing a part of the movie. Considering the hostility of the co-workers the other option is that there is a conspiracy going on and they made Eva disappear - and now they all try to hide the truth from Irene. Still, one can not be sure, because the clues are too few to solve the mystery completely. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): Thumbs Up This is an atmospheric and moody horror/thriller. A little slow but I enjoyed it even if I think many (and I truly think many) viewers will not like it because it is an extremely ambiguous film throughout, especially the ending. But, I like when films make me think afterward. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The fiilm does successfully create a truly creppy and dark atmosphere. However, I must admit, even I had pressed the fast-forward button to finish half of the movie, I still found it extremely slow-paced and boring. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Möchtegern-Gruselfilm in dem einfach nix passiert. Langweilig und unnötig... Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The "script girl" on the original funny games and allegedly Haneke protege, directs a rather atmospheric but disappointing film. I wasn't expecting that Hausner would employ the sexist cliché found in many horror films [heroine has to be a dimwit so she can make outrageously dangerous decisions without the slightest doubt]. The film is just a collection of spooky sequences and its attempts at density and minimalism are rarely successful. The original cut explained the mystery away but after Cannes, Hausner recut the film to provide a poor felly's "Picnic at Hanging Rock" mixed with a [barely] "Shining."
