The film is brilliant, the characterization even more so!

An atypical horror film that surprised me and that, without using strong words, has become one of my favorite horror films!

You don't find many movies discussing a Hitler-loving 13-year-old befriended by a murderous dog with the inside voice of a 50-year-old chainsmoker
