Title: We're not in Hollywood anymore!
Review: What a quirky movie yet there was something compelling about it that made me keep watching. The perpetually overcast scenery and the not frigid but still chilly weather threw a blanket of menace over everything. As much as I hate watching movies with subtitles I couldn't get myself to stop watching. Even though I'd read the blurb about the movie on IFC I still kept waiting for a logical explanation for the main character's suffering OTHER than possession. I KNOW! What a Hollywood theme right? But the Germans made a very non-Hollywood film. It's quiet and understated. There aren't any bizarre special effects with blood spurting everywhere. Conversations are quiet, subdued even when the devil is speaking. LOL I have no idea if the actors are well known in Germany but none of them were even vaguely familiar looking to me which also added to the feeling of realness about this movie. The ending caught me off guard although it probably shouldn't have.
Is the review positive or negative?
