I had a feeling I was going to see another “Wicker man” and though there are parallels this very much stands on it's own. It's a movie about a solstice cult in Sweden and what starts out as a benign sun worship/mother nature community soon turns into something darker; much darker. It has moments which are decidedly uncomfortable with graphic scenes that stitch together a story that you feel should be predictable but somehow isn't. The last time a movie made me feel this uncomfortable was Joaquin Pheonix's Joker. At 2 hrs 50min you barely notice the length which is always a good sign. This won't be for everyone, it doesn't boast a mega budget and isn't packed with action but as a psychological thriller it definitely gets under the skin. Well worth a look.
