I am not surprised that the IMDB scores are low for this one even though I liked it very much. For people who don't like slow burn movies, this one is absolutely not for you. But if you like a elevated psychological horror with a slow emerging mystery, then don't miss it. The film is concerned with a south african family in South Africa post apartheid. A black elderly woman has been the caretaker of a elderly white woman who is bedridden and near death. The woman who takes care of the white woman and her family have a history in this beautiful modern home. Some of this history is dark which affect the adult daughter of the caretaker. She has dark memories from her own childhood growing up in the home. But she finds herself between her mother, the caretaker who is loyal to the white female and maticularly takes care of the home, and the daughter's little girl who loves the home.
Anyway, I really appreciate these international horror films because I really do love horror with cultural differences from American films. They are unique and not cookie cutter hollywood films. The actors, direction, and the cinematography is outstanding. I also liked the twisty end to this psychological mystery.
