A beautifully shot and prestige horror, now showing in cinemas
, which though I haven't seen and have no intention of seeing need, anyway?), looks like it should fit the bill.is a very slow burn that doesn't show its monster beyond quick flashes for most of its runtime, and though it is actually pretty damn gory, it relies on tension and atmosphere to create a sense of unease and creeping horror rather than cheap scares.
Arguably the one real flaw with this otherwise impressive piece of horror filmmaking, beyond its unremitting grimness and fairly bog-standard plot, is that it tries to be about too much at once. It's primarily about the cycles of abuse – and it depicts that very well – but the film's monster is connected to an environmentalist message more than to its central theme. I suppose a line can be drawn between domestic abuse and the abuse of the Earth, but it doesn't quite work.
