Warning: Spoilers
I understand that this film isn't everyone's cup of tea, given the hyper-focus on the scenery and the actors (or lack of them).

~ However, the performance of our journalist was brutal, the plot consistent and the mystery kept slowly unravelling in an unpredictable and chilling way.

~ An excellent example of how intimate this type of approach, which some might call "low budget", can be.

The absence of distractions such as stunning sceneries or too much going on at same time like is becoming common nowadays in the industry in general, and it's precisely what distinguish this production. This intimate approach gives the plot an immensity that borders on realism, makes you focus more on every little things. At some point the behavior of our "hero" it's you in your own house thinking out loud making the surreal plot a little more believable and, therefore, more creepy by association.

Althought the end was satisfying and on it's proper moment and gives you something to linger on... I was enjoying the ride and ultimately, my only critic is that I wanted to see more of it.
