    Really good horror movie, which could've achieved greatness if the symbolism fit better with the plot.

    This movie, thankfully, doesn't rely on cheap jump scares to freak you out or set it's tone. This movie is legitimely scary at times, and it has a very effective atmosphere of dread and madness. The characters go through alot in this movie, and what makes this movie so effective is the fact you actually care for these people. Finally, a horror movie in which I can say I actually gave a shit about the people in it!

    There were some questionable decisions, specially regarding some of the sound design. It's normally effective, but some sound effects seem really out of place. The "monster" is brilliantly written, the metaphorical meaning behind it is beautifully done. But by the end you start wondering if whatever happened made any sense whatsoever, symbolism is important but incorporation is essential as well.

    Overall, really good. Horror fans, we've got a winner here!
