The phone ringing off the hook, Dani's answering machine message to her parents, her worried phone call, yet another, to Christian, her boyfriend... and everything that follows, up to those heartbreaking and heartbreaking screams on the cell phone and the images of the sister.

The initial scene is crazy with how it is constructed: Midsommar had already convinced me like this, with the incipit. The rest of the film has some flaws, in the dilation of time (not always effective), in the predictability of everything and in the supporting characters who are a bit sketchy (the typical cannon fodder). However, I find it very interesting to make a genre film almost completely out in the open, in fact the fact that a young director on his second work makes a film like Midsommar - which cannot be appreciated by horror users who are all jumpscares - I find to say the least admirable. Furthermore, Pugh is very good, very communicative, and the ending all based on Dani's expressiveness is the icing on the cake. Dani watching his old life burn - or what little was left of it ... - as if coming to the Light a second time, being reborn from the ashes of the ugliness of the world that he knew and that broke her heart. A surprising, terrible, beautiful epilogue.

In short, for me, who loves grieving-themed films, this is truly an excellent horror variant, after The Babadook and others!
