To all the reviewers helpfully explaining what happened in this movie and why it's great if you understand it: I understood what was going on, I just thought the film was pointless and poorly done. I enjoy slow-burn storytelling, but when the "twist" is obvious early in the movie, slow-burn just becomes slow. I get the need for an atmosphere of dread, but when every freaking scene, including outdoor daylight scenes, is so dark that you can't see what's going on and the music is so intrusive that you can't hear critical lines, that's just poor technique. Trying to be arty doesn't make art.
