🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is a thriller that respects the viewer: doesn't explain everything, doesn't rush events. Tension is created through atmosphere, not mechanical twists.

A solid choice if you're tired of predictable genre formulas. You can sense the creators were thinking about what they were making.

Good choice for those seeking tense cinema without unnecessary noise.

Director: Terry Gilliam
