Not the most horrifying but good atmosphere with creepy elements

This was a weird watch for me. I quite like watching horror films and thrillers, used to pretty much exclusively watch it, but this yeash its a very obscure film. There were definitely parts that I found creepy and unsettling, the family table for one, very creepy in a way, but I wouldn’t say I felt much horror from it overall.

What instead ended up being what stood out more was how much crime filled the film, the parts with the debt and the previous murder that happened, filled quite a lot IMO. But yeah, that aspect was actually executed quite well. There’s a constant sense of tension and danger, and I think the film does a good job creating a thrilling atmosphere around the criminal side of the story, got the film to have this mysterious vibe over it.
Actiually the more that I reflect on it the more I think that I’d say that’s what the film does best. The horror elements didn’t affect me all that much, but the crime and suspense kept me interested. It has this strange, obscure quality to it that makes the whole experience feel unsettling, even when it isn’t necessarily scary. SO its not horror as much as its mysterious and crime ridden. IDk how else to explain that but yeah.

Overall, it was a strange film to watch. I wouldn’t call it frightening, but I think it succeeds much more as a dark crime thriller with horror elements than as straight-up horror.
