I’m paraphrasing messages to my movie group chat here, but: a horny, pagan Local Hero mixed with Fincher’s Dragon Tattoo and Liz Hand’s Cass Neary novels. Also: a horror-laced bizarro-world version of The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Creepiness counterbalanced by the silliness. I laughed early on as Sergeant Howie got into a series of tiny cars and tiny planes.

So many weird choices. The music is especially baffling!
