A Slow Burn.. Engrossing and Disturbing Horror
16 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This IS a slow burn and I will admit to hitting the fast forward in the beginning to move things along...However, once the families are together, fireworks and disturbing things begin! As may have been mentioned in other reviews, the last 30 mins is intense and where the film peaks...Its sad and may shock some people depending on what they have witnessed in life...I can certainly see Why some have said this...If you have not seen Real horror before , this would shake you up...The More haunting aspect than the physicality of it was the Psychological where the victim was asking " why are you doing this to us?" and the positively Chilling response of the aggressor was "Because you LET me" ....Here is where I found the story sad..the victim offered No resistance nor real fight to aggressors who really had no weapon other than force of will...He was a bully and thru sheer intimiditation, dominated those poor souls, humiliating them and Much worse., not to mention what was done to their daughter with no resistance from the parents...Granted the male being bullied did Not know how to fight or defend himself or his family, but even without skills, he could have responded with wild anger and aggression, which Could have saved these horrors from happening.

They made it so easy for their aggressors to take advantage of them as a family in the worst possible ways...in that, it was very sad to see happening...The film was a very interesting watch, very well acted and quite atmospheric....definitely a proper Horror film.
