Beautiful, strange horror film concerning identity, art, mother-daughter relationships, psychedelia, old houses, video tape, C86 indie music and childhood trauma. So a teenage slasher splatterfest this ain't.
Nor is it a conventional spooky thriller - its arty and blurry and shaky and distorted, and leaves things for the viewer to work out for themselves. If you are the kind of person who is sick of all these arty horrors coming out at the moment - you know, Ben Wheatley films, Berberian Sound Studio, Mandy - well - youre gonna hate this. Best stick to those old Freddie and Jason films.
If, on the other hand, you like Suspiria, Repulsion , Performance, The Tenant, Jose Larraz, strange psychological horror and girls in 80s style hooped t shirts, then this is a good way of spending an evening
Great dreamy score by Rose Mcdowell, ex Strawberry Switchblade/ Sorrow, which really gives this a lot of class.
