7/10
How much can you take?
29 December 2021
And how heroic are you? Or rather afraid? And is it being afraid or is it being reasonable and actually doing the thing with the most succesful outcome (probably)? Sometimes we are put in situations where there is nothing that is 100% correct. How do you help someone else who is being assaulted when you yourself are being held at bay/distance? Having said that, there are some interesting themes here, some of which get dismantled by inner logic or rather are suspended for ... suspense. And characters then seem to try to outdo each other by doing the worst things possible.

Then again, this would not be a horror movie if it were otherwise. Some very fine images and cinematography and some really interesting ideas story-wise. Not great but decently done - if you can overcome certain scenes, that while not explicit, really do cut to the bone - no pun intended.
