This movie takes you into the mind of a serial.
The characterization of the killer is quite good. And there are some layers to it.
It's a psychological study of the serial killer.
There's a strong sense of realism in this movie. It makes the brutality more impactful.
The film is artfully shot. This kind of captures the attention in the beginning but soon leaves the attention as the action begins.
One thing I will say about the camera work is there are a number of times the killer is on the edge of the frame. This is very intentional and done to add to the unease.
The story is quite simple but well told.
The ending 20 minutes or so kind of drag but the dogged focus on the brutality remains.
This is a disturbing, upsetting film.
It's not for everyone. And an unperceptive viewer may miss the layers of characterization within the film.
It's a very simple plot. What makes it good is the characterization. The horror of the movie is not just murder but the mind of the murderer himself.
The movie stays very engaging but kind of drags at the end. But still good.
The movie is not for everyone.
Not only because of it's disturbing, brutal nature.
But there will be those who take it on face value and miss the psychological subtext at play.
But it's a well made film, if you can stomach it. Should appeal to fans of dark international cinema.
Well it's good, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's all out excellent.
But it's worth a watch for those who can handle it.
