The atmosphere is dense with a sense of foreboding, enhanced by practical effects that give the action a visceral quality. There’s a certain unrefined charm in the performances, where the desperation of the characters feels palpable. The pacing can be uneven, but it adds to the dreamlike quality of the film. It explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the blurry lines between divinity and humanity. It’s distinctive for its bold choice of visuals and the haunting soundscape that lingers long after the credits roll.
