    Oops. I liked it

    This isn't the best "cult in the middle of nowhere woods" movie that I've seen. But it's watchable. It has some random gore scenes. Heck, the creepy mannequins make it all worth while to me. Reviews are bashing the acting. If you consider this film some of the worst acting you've ever seen, consider yourself lucky.

    50/50

    A rather convoluted plot with a deadly sect. It is worth watching carefully so as not to miss the thread of the story, because then it will be difficult to understand everything.

    What can I say about my own impressions? This is definitely a one time movie. I did not understand many points. The ending was disappointing, which confused everything even more.

    P. S. While watching, I thought about the art department. How the boys struggled with moving props.

    Pretentious Crap

    Pretentious uninteresting crap that tries to be something like a David Lynch movie. A good start, but once the father and daughter are caught this movie just turns out to be a very boring trip.

    Don't be expecting answers

    This film falls into the genre of alternate realities or multiple dimensions. Starting within the boundaries of a cult, the film progresses into the "real" and the "unreal" as well as a space in between those. What follows is a contemplation of what is real, what is life and death, but on a basic level. This is a borderline horror thriller, and processes this material only at that basic level. Production is quasi-okay, acting decent, and story "okay". I enjoyed the film, but I also recognize that it isn't amazing or spectacular. But for what it is, its decent.

    Just give it a try

    A movie where you head is spinning with all the metaphores and what is real and what is fake. The whole movie is build around a "circle" and since we as human never can imagine that a circle doesnt have a begin or an end, the movie is also really hard to figure out.

    The acting wasn' that bad, ive seen alot worse

    Altough i love movies where the plot is really hard to understand and needs alot of thinking, but the whole plot is just not understandable. But maybe thats what they Wanted to do. I dont know. For me it was too much and they tried too hard to completly mess with your brain.

    My head hurts after this movie, but overall it was quite enjoyable. Gave me a little midsommar vibes.
