Intriguing surroundings, we appear to be in a gloriously dark forest. Such a Foreboding atmosphere right from the start and the promise of a Dark Brooding Presence.
I'm really enjoying the setting of this film, and the architecture is unbelievably gorgeous . Everything feels so palpable, and it feels like you can taste the air and smell the soil.
The Dark Gothic aesthetic of the film penetrates deep into the subconscious, as if pulling you into the story of the suffering and pain and anguish of the characters.
The visuals are deep and emoting of the Hell the people must have felt during this episode enveloping their community, their friends, and their families.
There is so much pain and suffering in this film, even beyond the current situation and into the past of the history of the people. The psychological torment that they endured feels like it's scarred the land, leaving a solemn wound that never heals.

I NEED to own this film, as I own VVitch and a few others that capture a deep welling of emotion in me as I watch.
