A claustrophobic and gripping home-invasion thriller with seemingly anti-war undertones that goes full-on melodramatic propaganda by its third act.

3 звездице за квалитет самог филма, пола више (а можда и цела) би ишла кад бих оцењивао наду да ће овај филм (уз "Енклаву", "Чекајући Хандкеа" и још неке) помоћи да се покрене озбиљна тема у нашој кинематографији о злочинима над народом на Косову и Метохији. Има овде доста тога за похвалити, пре свега што дефинитивно није снимљен још један антисрпски памфлет, већ се детаљно елаборира колики је страх у коме живи народ доле, додуше имам осећај да су овде ужаси само додирнути, а помиње се и незаинтересованост државе Србије за њихове судбине, па за то иде посебан плус, са све корумпираношћу наших званичника тамо и негативним светлом у ком су недвосмислено приказани амерички војници (додуше, са тим се није…
How about from now on, we all agree that no global leader can declare war unless they're prepared to send themselves and their offspring into the frontline? Sound good? We'll even give them some extra fucking whistles.
At its best it excels with its slow-burning, foreboding tone of living through fear lingering in every corner. There are also stretches where it steps into melodrama and rings false entirely. Still, though flawed, it is largely effective in its bluntly nightmarish approach.
It truly knows how to build up an eerie and unsettling athomsphere mixed with horror and fear of the unknown. I think the way it was driven was poetic and also super human. When it hit the first hour I was about to drop a tear because I was feeling it as if I was in there with the characters... I didn't really realized it was a war inspired movie until that third scene where the girl keep writing her letter so when that clicked my perspective changed totally and I thought it was about the war in Ukraine but then at the end they clarified what event was this based on. I think it works both ways, as a horror movie and as an anti war movie but in the horror part they totally nailed it. All those elements of screams and the deaths and the forest was really terryfying to experience. I really enjoyed this
Tragedia vera o minaccia sovrannaturale?
Il vecchio espediente di piazzare lo sguardo ad altezza bambino per confondere ancor più i piani è gestito molto bene.
Un piccolo film dalle idee chiare che lavora di sottrazione, sul senso di minaccia diffusa, capitalizzando senza strafare l'atmosfera umida e opprimente di una catapecchia divorata dalla foresta, strizzando più di un occhio al cinema di genere, al film d'assedio. Bella sorpresa.
veoma tezak, mozda i najtezi film koji sam ikad gledao, iako ima a24 vibes, i podseca na the witch
ja sam rodjen 2001. godine tako da 2004. ja i dalje nisam bio svestan da postojim.
scene u mraku su mi bile bas bliske i bas bih mrzeo kada bi nestala struja jer nema sta da se radi vec moras da odes malo ranije na spavanje a uglavnom struju ne bi imali uvece.
film me je dosta podsetio na to koliko mi je odrastanje bilo nelagodno, mozda ne toliko koliko sada ja mislim da mi je bilo jer pre za bolje nisam ni znao.
uglavnom su sve pogodili u centar, jedino sto samo mi nismo isli bas tenkovima u skolu jer smo ziveli u selu koje nije bilo u planinama a i to nije bilo potrebno zato sto je moj…
