What scary shit, holy cow...

I think the most scary things in this world are folklore and what it does with people's mind. It makes your imagination run wild and puts thoughts in your head which lead to decisions, you never thought you would be able to put into action. It manipulates even the most righteous person. Even scarier when it comes to villages where superstition is still grounded quite deeply, because it twists the mind of more than just one person. And it makes them act out of fear and anger while they don't even bother thinking about it first. And at this point they won't budge either because they are too afraid to be wrong.

I delayed watching this for some time now, even though many people recommended it. But it's running so long and I never felt like being in the right mood for it.

But now I know that even if you're not in the right mood, you will be soon, because its atmosphere is sucking you in right away. It's oppressive and even though the story is moving calmly, there's always this ominous feeling in the air that doesn't let go of you.

This is so different from all the dramas and it was such a nice change. It follows a neat string, throwing one breadcrumb at a time while creating this net of... I don't even know how to describe it... It builds its own world with its subtle suspense that is lurking at every corner.

There are no boring moments, even though it never gets hectic or anything. There are not even those surprise moments that make you jump out of your seat. Still, it keeps you on the edge and guessing till the end. Even now I'm not completely sure about all the details, although it still feels like I got the whole picture.

The cast was amazing, every single one! Special kudos to the kiddo here. She was damn awesome. And again so different from dramas. No matter what was shown, it never got cringy. This is where you can differentiate the two categories with one look.

At some point it might get a bit gory though it's just a short moment that still fits into the whole setting. It's not excessive, it's not unrealistic. So, if you're weak to those things, be aware, even though those scenes are rare and don't occupy most of the film. They are like small stepping stones in the later minutes to reach the finale.
