Got to love a movie starring a Dutch hippy Albert Fish
in a lot of ways, this is PARASITE before PARASITE. We get the same idea of a lower class group inserting themselves in a rich family's life, and the 2 movies share some similar themes. I would argue however, that this movie is a lot more watchable than PARASITE.
essentially, this movie is more of a mystery than a horror movie. it established almost immediately by having supernatural elements, and the mystery is fueled through out by increasingly strange events and character introductions. who are these people? are they human? why did he/they choose this family? is he manipulating events or are the family simply going nuts? is this a Dutch folklore reference I don't understand?
whatever the answer may be, its a fun movie to try and piece together yourself. the pacing is great, the tension is even better, and the sudden bursts of extreme violence keep the horror crowd satisfied. overall its a great movie that i cant recommend enough for those of you who enjoy trying to solve puzzles like this one.
10/10
