"A movie that plays like the bastard offspring of Groundhog Day and The Babadook."

"The film avoids gross-out shivers in favor of the quiet torture of expecting death behind every tree."

"A triumphantly unique work of cinematic art, telling a universal story in genuinely innovative ways..."

"Writer-director Johannes Nyholm is keener on unsettling suggestion than outright gore, as terrifying events rewind and repeat like a weird fusion of Groundhog Day and Funny Games."

"It works as a parable for what happens to grief when it is left un-exorcised and unexpressed."

"A Twilight Zone of grief."

"Feels like a macabre amusement park ride, appropriate given Mog's outfit choice."

"It certainly doesn’t help that Tobias and Elin are entirely banal characters with nothing to define them but their loss."

"Difficult to dismiss."

"Though at times tasteless and barely coherent, the story is oddly affecting, the very strangeness of Nyholm’s folkloric vision and its unnerving execution pulling you in."

"Mixes horror elements with surreal fantasy and the crushing realism of a serious family drama. It’s metaphorical, vague but also precise in its specificity for the horrific trials these people are to face — their personal hell."
