It has been a weird week for me Film-wise.
That only gets worse as I decided to watch...
The strange, naked man (who looks like if Rory Kinnear played Baron Harkonen) is slightly more of a threat, seemingly stalking her back to the House.
She tries to enjoy the lovely Cottage and put the strange incident behind her.
However, other people in Town- like the Cop- seem odd and somewhat threatening.
Even the Vicar- Rory Kinnear looking like George Washington, sans donkey teeth- tells her that she's 'responsible' for the suicide of her Husband.

That was the inciting incident for her trip and she has been reliving the moments in orange-tinted flashbacks throughout the Film.
A final night at the Cottage gets...weird.
I could say more...but it wouldn't prepare you for it.
Seriously, words don't this one justice.
Seriously, I haven't been as confused by a Film since, well, the last Film I watched for this site.
This is an A24 Film and this is quite evident. Alex Garland doesn't care if you want clear answers.
If you can accept that this Film is just weird, full of visual metaphors and not going to really answer things all that well, this Film is quite a sight.
The Acting is great. Rory Kinnear is great. Jessie Buckley is great.
Is it intriguing that the Film just happens to star a past Frankenstein Actor and a future Bride of Frankenstein Actress? Yes.
I can only recommend this Film to fans of Arthouse Horror (it gets freaky and gross at times in Act 3) and Alex Garland.
For anyone else, this is your future...
A Film that sure gets weird by the end...and is not exactly easy to decipher. That said, it looks amazing and is quite enchanting at times.
