Excellent cinematography, music, setting and acting. I interpreted it as a story about a young boy facing his fears as he becomes a man alone in the world away from the comforts of his mother's arms. In this story, the boy becomes his father and repeats the endless cycle of boyhood to manhood. I don't think the screen events are meant to be taken literally. Instead, it is meant to be taken metaphorical. The story, in my opinion, is a parable about growing up, becoming brave and leaving childhood fears behind.

If you consider disparaging...depression...and dislocation a horror movie, then this one's for you. While the acting was quite good...the story line just gives you an Ill feeling. Not my cup of tea.

This movie doesn't have many horror elements, it feels more like a thriller.

Lately the movies that are sold to us as horror end up being something totally different, just like this one, which has a lot of suspense that works. Although the film shows how loneliness can be a terrifying emotional breaking point, it does not have aspects of a horror film, but the suspense it generates by showing how isolation and abandonment can destroy a person's sanity works. The acting is very good, the production design is also good, and the direction conveys the suspense and mystery that the plot describes.

The execution isn't the best, but it's suspenseful and well-done made, so it's effective in terrifying you psychologically for a while.
