Irritating Overrated Disappointment

So there were people talking about how this movie is an awesome tribute to 1970s Euro-horror and it really, really isn't.The least likable married couple in the world, including a bitter angry abusive jerk in a buttoned up three piece suit, and his sexually frustrated unhappy daydreaming wife, get into a series of boring arguments in between having sex and watching the sun rise. They also both seem to either have vivid imaginations or there is a presence(s) haunting the old castle.Oops! Nevermind, it is a early 70s film crew making an obnoxious art house flick - and that part is even worse. Nothing is convincingly 1970s about this except for maybe the castle itself.

Didn't Hate It

Seriously, what was going on?

I liked the sets, the characters were interesting but the story line was all over the place at certain points making the entire movie confusing to me.

I'm a fan of giallo and this ain't it. Flash back, flash forwards, flash sideways or to an alternate universe? To something that happened in the house to other people they were reliving or were they in fact going to haunt this house?

*spoiler* Not if it's burned to the ground. *spoiler*

*spoiler* Typical for too many modern movies was the "male hate" with the movies castration of the male actor in their film (film about making a film). We get it, penis envy actually is a thing for some of you.

The movie became especially confusing after the director's brilliant idea to have all the party guests indulge in hallucinogens. There were hints at infidelity but it was hard for me to differentiate what was real or imagined. Did Eva actually catch her lover in the act with the usual suspect or was this her imagination for the film they were making? I DON'T KNOW. I'm not sure if having to read subtitles was part of the problem. I hate doing this as it does take away from enjoyment of what is actually transpiring in the movie. I wish they could release a dubbed version.

Especially in an "artsy" film you are trying to read expressions of the actors & the actions & then reading subtitles.....no. Not in something like this. It didn't work for me because I can't say how this really ended even with the distant smoke & Eva by her "two selves(?)" *spoiler* Too much guesswork. Like I had to make up what I thought was going on? That's not what I watch a film for.
