Cult horror films are a real hit-or-miss game. They either fall apart at the seams, or they transcend their meager origins to achieve something great. This horror film is of that latter variety. I kinds-sorta understand the comparisons to "Martyrs", but it's far more a cross between "Rosemary's Baby" and "In the Skin". The direction is simply beautiful, and I was so taken by how well the last fifteen minutes were shot I kept exclaiming about how great it was. And make no mistake - Alex Essoe is a star, and I hope to see her in a lot of new movies. I really enjoyed this, very well done. 4/5
