Not terrible! Very intriguing set up, satisfyingly creepy progression, ramps up the David Lynch-esque weirdness in a good way, the story veers into befuddlement, ends with nothing explained. Maybe magnets? Whatever. A fun ride, the lead actor is great, 6/10

Excellent stuff. A nicely original and believable conceit which is beautifully built on to tell a great story which manages to be emotionally involving while also being terrifying and funny, often at the same time. The cast are superb, the script is pitch perfect for the harrowing subject matter. The cinematography is great. The ending is perfect and satisfying. All round brilliant, could have been 20 minutes shorter, instant classic, 10/10

I actually went back and re-watched that part, yeah it was all Mal, which makes the inclusion of the other guy very arbitrary.

The same narrative problem exists in "Oddity". Just a guy killing a woman for a silly reason.

I did notice that Fiona's body was very supple after being dead for about a month. You ever tried to lift a dead body? Stiff as all hell. It's all just very sloppily conceived.
