    Visually flawless eco-body horror from South Africa, which will find its connoisseur. The director here, of course, is too straightforward in the forehead with an accusatory sledgehammer and criticizes a corrupt and sinful society, and makes direct allusions to Abraham and Isaac, but … Filmed and played masterfully

    Another wonderful and wonderful film about the forest and mushrooms. There was not enough psychedel, like for example Ben Wheatley in In the earth. But from the visual side it is very beautiful.

    A good eco-horror, which compares favorably with modern Hollywood cinema, gradually and sometimes imperceptibly for the viewer turns into a strong drama. The assets include good camera work, excellent camera angles and angles, cool music and stunning nature in its grandeur.

    A beautiful (sometimes even too much) eco-horror, which almost succeeded in everything that Ben Wheatley did not succeed in his recent "In the Ground". Almost, because in the last half hour the authors are completely overwhelmed and overdo it with biblical allusions.

    Decent movie with nice special effects. Strongly spoiled the picture is not fully understandable logic of what is happening and endless dreams. The ending raises a lot of questions.
