First, let's get this straight. There is no horror in this movie. I didn't see a single scene that was remotely scary. I also only found a maximum of about 20 seconds of the movie in any way disturbing.
I think the movie is trying to be an art film, but it's not pretty to look at it, it has no deep meaning, and nothing about it is interesting, inspiring, or thought provoking. It is a boring, mind-numbing, and above all IRRITATING slog.
The voices are SO quiet. It's not just the audio mastering that is poor - the actors were apparently intentionally told to whisper/mumble/speak quietly through the whole production. I have never seen anything as enraging. The main actress is one of the most annoying looking and sounding people I have ever seen in a film. Mumble mumble mumble. I wanted to tear my hair out listening to her. Then you're treated to a sudden squeak, bang, or other sound that hurts your ears in the midst of trying to understand their mumbling.
NOTHING happens in this movie. NOTHING. Two people sit in a shack in the middle of nowhere and do some weird rituals for no obvious reason. Occasionally (like for 10 minutes of the film in total), another actor or two will appear. There is no plot, nothing moves forward.
I have seen tens of thousands of movies. I've seen the vast majority of horror movies made since the 1970s. I would rewatch ANY of them again rather than this. I would pay $500 not to have to sit through this again.
