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.
Directed by Oliver Stone

In DELIVERANCE (1972) Billy Redden played the banjo-pickin’ backwoods mountain boy. Only problem, he couldn’t play the banjo.
So John Boorman had him fitted with a special shirt that allowed Mike Addis to slip his left hand through the sleeve and finger the fretboard.
