Reviews
This movie IS NOT HORROR. It's as much horror as Casey Affleck's Ghost Story was. Though it makes no sense. It's plain as day what the answer to the central mystery is and yet other mysteries (bed?) are completely forgotten or unanswered (Leemoy?). It's mainly just rambling around the lava fields of Iceland with existential musical accompaniment. Avoid.
