🎬 MovieFinder's Take

HeimÞrá: In Thrall to Home is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

Released in 2018, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
