Something is not right here. Marie is sure of it when she comes to the remote island with her friend George. Nothing fits here! It doesn't fit that her mother is buried here, although she didn't want that all her life. It doesn't fit that the grave has been vandalised and it doesn't fit that nobody in this damned nest seems to know anything. But much more doesn't fit here, in this place without time and space, where the world as we know it doesn't seem to exist.
Mickey Keating is a familiar figure in Regensburg. In the Directors Spotlight of 2016, one could convince oneself of the American's variability and still find that it is mainly invisible threats that Keating seeks to explore. In his latest prank, he remains true to himself. However, he once again turns to a different sub-genre. His film is suffused with dark Lovecraft nightmares, opaque fog, darkness and that all-dominating something.
