Notes

My quick rating - 6,2/10. With all the horror and especially gore flicks I watch, it is like this is my job. Although here we have a censor who needs to decide which scenes are a bit too much and give the rating recommendations for films. Aside from all the stories you may hear about directors going to these people and bribing them to get their rating down to "R" as opposed to NC-17, this one is more about a particular clip our censor, Enid (Niamh Algar) views. Immediately when watching, she has memories of a similar life situation where her sister had disappeared and she becomes obsessed with solving the mystery. As she investigates further into the movie, the lines between reality and fiction slowly dissolve and her acting is pretty spot on in demonstrating this. The vast majority of the gore in this is more in the videos she rates but when the blurred lines do get crossed, the psychological torment she is in, and the violence merge keeping you wondering what is actually true. Not a jump scare type of flick, just a nicely paced story that is told through the eyes of a woman who is desperately clinging to her own sanity and just wants to find her sister. I had not heard of this one but was pleasantly surprised in how it ended up.
