This is a movie that takes a little time for you to acclimatize to and find your way, it feels like a vampire movie, then a horror, a murder mystery, and possibly sci-fi. In truth, it’s a little bit of all of these, and eventually some more than others. The more detail I provide removes the enjoyment of exploring and revealing the story.
You’ll watch it thinking it resembles one thing and then another all the while suggesting that you should be more familiar with the story though it stays just out of reach. Even towards the end there are revelations, and moral dilemmas to be considered among the twists and turns, and suggests that while individuals suffer, the results can benefit a much greater number of people. It’s a cautionary little tale which leaves a slightly unsettled feeling but asks a few important questions as it goes along. It’s not a perfect offering, but well worth your time and effort and moves along at a solid pace throughout – you won’t be bored!
