Pretentious garbage

You should warn about spoilers.

Agreed - this was a pretty crappy film. No explanations given - some posters refer to allegory, and some ancient greek myth - but that implies that this film didn't provide sufficient info on its own, which is poor film making at best.

Otherwise, crappy soundtrack which comprised of squeaky sounds, horrible writing, especially the dialogues, and a horrible concept overall.

I'd suggest people to skip this one. Then again.... I suspect that this was a film that some would call artistic - and there's a definite odd atmosphere throughout the film. That means that those who liked 'fountain' and other 'artistic' films may love this. Me? Had I know this was a fountain-esque film, I wouldn't have bothered.

My thoughts exactly.

Yeah, didn't like this movie at all but people seem to be praising it anyway. It was like a family of dysfunctional rejects hooked up on some overdosed xanax chill pill (monotone look and speak) that won't listen to one another while keeping secrets. That along with their fucked up sex life or fetish where the wife just lies on bed like some necro retarded bitch. Wonder why they didn't just kill Martin.

The boy that got killed seemed the most sane while the wife came next. Why didn't the wife just kill the husband for all his wrongdoings of however they're getting magically punished? In the end I was just rooting for Martin to just kill the whole family however he's doing it or some metaphorical attack of some crap when he mentioned it with the biting of the doctors hand and his own.

Not all acting needs to be naturalistic.. They talk that way so you don't associate too closely with them and can instead see the big picture... it's called distencing effect or something in the theatre... it works as you clearly didn't find the character "likeable"...

This isn't neorealism... Not everything needs to be explained...

Do you guys really need the supernatural to be explained? it is not the point of the film... The point isn't a detective story trying to find out how they supernatural thing works and defeat it... This isn't The Conjuring 3...

If it was based on some comic book scripture or a cartoon... sorry, "anime", would you guys still feel it was so unbelievably absurd? Do you need a source to tether the film to? ... If so, there is that Greek myth of the same name... I think the film works well on it's own...

Your post totally makes sense. How can anyone find this movie even remotely interesting, meaningful, or worth watching?
