Watched this last night on the DVD with my JagJaguwar copy - elements reminded me of the recent Under the Skin, others 2001 - though I think those are both better movies.
As others have said it is very slow moving and almost hypnotic - deliberately so it seems. Might have been an excellent 40 min short, and felt a bit drawn out being 110 instead.
Would like to see what the director could do with a bigger, Hollywood style budget. Would imagine him doing an intriguing Alien movie
The music does feel like a 'third character' however, as the best soundtracks do, and it certainly stood out. The film wouldn't have been so watchable without it.
The only thing that jarred for me were the beer swilling hicks at the end, when it descended into too familiar slasher territory.
Well, that's my 'Barry Norman/ Roger Ebert' episode over.
