Tale on parenthood and animal cruelty clearly influenced by Béla Tarr (EP).
The mid-way appearance of Pétur (stellar Björn Hlynur Haraldsson) is key to have someone you can relate to in this bizarre situation.

Hell yeah! Funny, uncomfortable, surprising and bloody!
Characters and setting quickly and effectively presented to get right into action.
Switches smoothly through comedy, unease and sentimentalism.
Slasher, Venice, stylish (great costume design). De la Iglesia at his most Bavaesque.
Some entertaining dark humor and kills. But, underdeveloped set-up and underwhelming ending.
Irregular film.
Meticulous spy film. Properly shows complexities and hardships of the job.
Good photography (highlighting whites and blacks) and action, but fails on making you empathize and care for the characters.
Slow, sloow, and SLOOOW!
Plus, awful score and sound mix that doesn’t increase the tension, it worns you out.
Story about parallel worlds, the only truth is: audiences of both worlds will be bored to death by it.
