What a ride!

I am so impressed with this movie!

We start of with fun which immediately takes a dark turn, and you are sure you are in a crime drama.

The it drops down into the lows of dysfunctional family dynamics, and becomes rather depressing.

And that, coupled with the crime elements spinning up, you are introduced as a mere background effect: the sinister Lovecraftian Horror, on a TV set as if it is not even worth a mention.

The human drama then gets revved up like an old '57 V8, grumbling and mumbling words of Cthulhu!

The story escalates into absolute insanity! Blood, gore, and evil manifest! And while the darkness of eternity boils over, the crime elements explodes in full force, and during all of this, the family drama takes a darkest turn.

I would recommend this to those who appreciate rather hectic movies, but who are willing to join on the human drama.

The visuals are great! The experience is authentic without resorting to stupid 'found footage' tricks.

The audio is good.

But! The mixing of different genre story lines make this an absolute gem.
