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.
The Duellists (1977, Scott)
"The one man, played by Harvey Keitel, is a prisoner of his own hatred. He must kill or be killed. Keith Carradine plays the other man who is honor bound to fight. It is a fascinating story of man’s violence."
--- Ridley Scott
