A cold, gradual build to a superior horror
18 March 2019
This is actually a superior horror movie. I feel I can take it seriously, it's never trashy, or falls back on those tropes we're all sick of.

I suppose its power comes in part that it feels somewhat like a drama that just happens to be about the supernatural. It doesn't feel desperate for your approval, it just tells the personal struggle with family and our own body that we all go through at some point or another.

it's very....Danish. The stark, coastal setting is perfect for the slow, quite burn into self discovery.

It's a wonderfully fresh twist on the werewolf genre. And I know... modern twists on (insert overdone premise here) movies can be a pretty painful but this one really does it with its vulnerable protagonist learning to fear her own body and then become the monster itself.

There's a sense of pathos and tragedy at its core that transcends the normal parameters of a horror.
