Horrible acting (not a surprise in Kurilenko's case, but WTF, Brian Cox?), disjointed narrative, ridiculous scenes...avoid it at all cost!

It's annoying when film makers think we won't notice fake plastic babies and cushions imitating pregnancies... but they still pull these stunts thinking we're too dumb to notice! This effort is no different.

The story is a convoluted mess, the twins can't act and the characters are just ridiculous and do ridiculous things.

Apart from a couple of nice shots of the bay, there's nothing else to watch.

Nothing on this movie make any sense and NOT in the "mystery" way, all the script goes against basic rules of common sense making the whole thing look pathetic.

Not mentioning the impossibly bad acting.

What a mess.

I find the plot engaging at first, but towards the middle I got really confused. The plot twists too much, and some characters are not introduced properly.

This movie is terrible. I've watched Taco Bell commercials that had more of a plot and drama then this movie has.

Do not watch this film everything does not make sense.

The movie is a bit convoluted - but it isn't really that bad. I can see if some feel differently. You have to suspend your disbelief for sure. Having said that, I've seen so much worse than this, that I can safely say, this is a decent overall thriller you can watch.

Of course if you only watch one movie a month or less ... you may want to divert and go watch something more solid than this. Anyone who is like me, will find at least something enticing and worthwhile here. Even if it is the partly confusing story and trying to keep up with what is going on ...

A very good story, a promising start then turns to a huge disappointment with bad direction, poor cinematography and cheesy acting.

This was as mysterious a thriller as I have seen this year. Keeps you involved and wanting more with its unique combination of music, photography and script it is hard to describe as there are not many films that can conjure up the atmosphere that this director has with a seemingly straightforward script yet make it into the most mysterious of mysteries that will keep you guessing and actually wondering what the heck am I actually watching; from the scene in the french house on the edge of the cliff to the buried baby it was most original and stylish of the year so far and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to the very finish - A solid 7/10!

Gave it a 2 because of Olga.

This film was a complete load of tripe with an absolute tosh of a performance, as usual, from Claes Bang whose an absolute cr*p actor who never shows any emotion and uses the same boring, simple, dumb tone in every role he plays... Brian Cox, whose role was nonsense, Olga who sort of did well but surprised she'd sign up for such a weak and pathetic film and so, I was 'angry' at watching a load of ****

So, basically I have a note to self.... AVOID CLAES BANG FILMS BECAUSE HE'S CR*P (AND NOT ALL OF OLGA'S FILMS ARE WORTH WATCHING!).

What utter garbage. I can't decide what's worse - the plot (if there was one) or the acting. I want these 100 minutes of my life back.

It is not confusing or sophisticated, like some reviewers noticed...It is morose, empty, veeeeeery slow..."nothing burger". Really. Don't waste your time - it wan't entertain you in any possible way.

Slow, depressing and utterly boring. Like sitting in a room and waiting for a fart to fade.

Intense and gripping, this psychological thriller fills in the right tones in its Gothic stylish narrative. A mind bending puzzle involving murderous twists and a mysterious cult.

Firstly, when you make a movie trailer that is totally different from the movie then your intentions are not honest. The movie has sub-plots with no connection or bearing at all to the main plot or climax of the movie, as if they were put in there to fill up time. Whole scenes that are totally irrelevant to the main plot or climax.

It seems as if mid way the producers changed their minds about the movies plot and climax but due to filming constraints kept some of the scenes to make up the running time. This is what I believe actually happened, it is not uncommon it happens in the movie industry a lot due to various reasons. The audience getting cheated of in the process is of course another matter.

Yes it seemed a bit disjointed but it's explained, if you don't manage to work it out. Sensitive subject but it eventually becomes obvious. Strangely filmed in Gateshead, not the most exotic location with a bit of Europe thrown in 😁

I don't know why this movie has such a low rating.

The story is engaging and the acting is superb from all the cast, including the kids.

Probably not a movie for you if you have the attention span of a flea, it is one you need to actually watch to get the experience from it.

The plot of this movie makes absolutely no sense at all its so all over the place it frustrates me so much. Please don't waste your time!

I lasted 20 minutes and believe me that was an endurance. Nothing makes sense, no acts like these weird creepy people. Probably one of the worst films I've half seen. Avoid
