Well, I loved this film and am sorry that so many critics did not. The film is extremely atmospheric, has great acting, and the tension is palpable. The setting was perfect in encapsulating the bleakness of this film. I’ve watched it twice and still have only positive things to say about it; in fact I got more from the film the second time around.
The pacing was primarily slow, but that was a necessity in aid of its atmosphere, so if you don’t have enough cerebral bandwidth than this film might not be for you.
