This was quite a challenging watch in many ways and I don't just mean it's slow Scandinavian slow burner pacing. It is brilliantly acted and that most rare of beasts, unique. It's a film I'm glad I watched as it did hold my attention throughout but wether I can say I actively enjoyed it is a different matter. I can certainly see why the professional critics liked this so much and conversely why your average movie watcher may well not. Definitely a polarising experience of a movie but one I'd recommend purely to see which camp you fall into. Be warned though, if you approach this expecting a straightforward horror movie per se then you'll most likely be dissapointed.

Well that certainly was different!

how the hell this thing got 7.0 rating, my biggest time-wasting movie i've had this year so far its so stupid and too damn dull, i just do get the story other than it being absolutely weird and slow, also the acting in the movie and how slow they speak to each other makes its even more painful to watch. stay away from the plague as far as you can I had to skip forward just to see its end and be done with it.

You'll often hear someone hyperbolically describing a movie by saying you've never seen anything like it. Well, when it comes to this Swedish film, currently available on Hulu, believe me, you've never seen anything like it. I don't even know where to begin with a review. I can't give it a full recommendation, but at the same time I am dying to hear what you all think about this. If you decide to take the dive, a few warnings. It is EXTREMELY slow - and this is coming from someone who loves slow, leisurely paced movies. If you only like movies that make sense at the end, give this a pass. And if the consumption of maggots and worms makes you ill, concentrate your attention elsewhere. But if you are in the mood for something different and unique and challenging, this is a movie about which you can be proud to say you took the plunge. My guess is that most people won't get past the first 30 minutes. Just between you and me, it took me two tries.

It's really unlike anything you've ever seen before, although the really impressive thing is how Abbasi takes a plot that's pretty ludicrous and takes it seriously, finding an effective emotional core to the story.

peculiar, not scary at all

Not a horror film at all. The lead was good, but this isn't a horror film at all.

This movie is so adsurd, and typical Swedish, that I loved it. It secretly addresses the human flaw of introllerance (yes and no typo) towards the unfamiliar. Racism, bullying, lying, revenge are nicely portraid as well as love, hapiness, forgiveness and deceipt. I really loved this movie and discovered my inner nature more, as did my partner.

One of the most unusual movies you will see. This is film making and story telling at its finest.

A fairy tale of self discovery and sexual identity, as beautiful as it is revolting. This love story is so potent it will leave you feeling sick to your stomach.
