VIBE
This film feels like a chilling, slow-burn descent into the unsettling heart of a seemingly idyllic village. Its stark black-and-white aesthetic amplifies a pervasive sense of dread and moral decay, exploring the insidious roots of authoritarianism and the quiet terror of suppressed evil. It's a deeply disturbing, thought-provoking experience.
