Paulo Coelho Alves reviewed
October 9, 2024•
Plays out like an über-stylish nightmare, light in logic but that hardly matters when the vibes are this on point. The German Alps setting and its maddeningly vague time period, the color grading and score, the way every character is just on the right side of odd on the David Lynch spectrum - it all comes together beautifully, sometimes terrifyingly, other times hilariously, often all of those things at once. Hunter Schafer's Gretchen takes enough beatings to put John McClane to shame and does it with a lot more style, and Dan Stevens is clearly having a blast putting on a German accent and dialing his weirdness all the way up.
