The first half of the film is beautiful, but it’s completely standard, and that’s why it’s boring. The main character pretty annoyed with inadequate behavior, which, however, will be quite understandable if you look further.
The climax moment – frankly, although the genre almost obliges, I did not expect such a plot twist, it was too large. However, the director cheated a little, to enhance the effect, taking away from the viewer the opportunity to understand the secret meaning of events. As it is done, those who look to the middle will understand.
Further events and denouement, frankly, seemed “by the ears”. Apparently, the hero suffered enough, and now his luck is over 9000. There are much darker prospects than those outlined by the writers. Well, tired of black people, however, you can understand.
Bottom line: a perfectly normal mystical thriller. A kind of “Island of the Damned”-light, with a reduced degree of hardness, hopelessness and psychedelia, and the absence of a uniquely materialistic interpretation of events. You can see it, but should you?
