A neat little surprise. This one is not so much a full-blown horror. It's much closer to a dark fantasy, even though there are some nasty scenes scattered throughout. But most importantly, it has some original lore on offer, which I feel is something every horror fan should embrace. That's what made this one stand out.
The presentation is also top-notch. The score is moody, the cinematography is lush, and the performances are strong. The plot structure and pacing are also on point, so there are no real complaints. The only thing lacking is that little extra grit and/or bite to make it a truly memorable film. Prime filler though.
