Things get a bit ‘Exorcist’ when his daughter falls ill. It’s so well put together that it flies past, leaving only an air of creepiness and faint tragedy in its wake. Appreciated how tonally it weaves black comedy and bleak horror effortlessly throughout.

Really like this film. Bit of a bladder basher, as you say, but pretty unique.
