My opinion :  This is a movie I really love! (yes I love horror movies!) but this is not like other horror movies. This is one of a kind. This is not just a simple story where each character gets killed and so on... No... If you watch the movie until the end, you'll see it's a very complicated movie, with complicated story plot. Lot of people didn't understand the movie. It's at the ending that you understand everything. (but shhhh I won't tell more!) Anyways, if you saw the movie and didn't understand the plot, you can always search the explanation on the Internet! This movie is mind-blowing! Not only by its plot, but also by its touch of drama, sadness and poetic vibe (Yes! Poetic and sadness in a horror movie!) The acting, the high visual quality... I recommand this movie. This horror movie is not like other horror movies, it doesn't add lame blood or gore, it has a story plot, a sadness and touching/poetic vibe to it, a deep and detailed psychological view of the characters, it is a very smart and artistic movie. One of a kind.
