So potent is this film’s gothic atmosphere that you might imagine you were watching some rediscovered treasure from an Eastern Bloc archive instead of the début film of British director Peter Strickland.
The film’s gripping narrative twists through the
cross-country odyssey of the film's heroine Katalin Varga and her young son.
