This was another film I watched in the cinema to view the action on a large screen. The film was extremely disturbing as they stared into the camera smiling however I really enjoyed the jump scares and the unknown. The story gradually goes deeper into the psyche of both the patients and doctors in this twisted tale.
The people I saw the film with also reacted to one scene in the same way when Dr.Rose's fiancé Trevor called out Rose's mentally ill genes with disgust which was disturbing in its own way as it was unethical.
It is clear that the production design team (Lester Cohen), were going for a minimalist approach when it comes to the aesthetic of the set- the simple sets mirror Rose's state of mind- another technique I would like to explore when designing my own sets- how a character can be reflected through the design.
Similarly, the third act in my opinion features one of the most unsettling movie monster through the outstanding creature and costume design which will leave even horror movie genre lovers disturbed.
Overall I would recommend this horror film to true horror fanatics.
