Why the hell didn’t these children have someone looking out for them while their mother was away?
Anyway, when their mother comes back, nothing is the same. Their mother’s face is wrapped up in white bandages and she is acting completely different from what the children are used to. The children see their mother do strange things like walk around the house and completely ignore them, lay in bed all day and go in to the woods all night. The mother is creepy, but there’s something about the children that is equally as creepy. To know that these children are wandering around the house all by themselves and being ignored by their mom…is just…weird. Later in the trailer we see brief shots of the kids wearing creepy masks, performing scary rituals and hovering over their mother with those same creepy masks,
That’s certainly not the scariest part. One of the strangest and most creepy parts of the trailer happens when the mother goes out in to the woods with her underwear on and those gross bandages across her face. We see her slowly walk out there during what looks like dusk and her head start shaking violently in all different directions.
This film does seem to be a slow burner. I think audiences will have to be patient with this film, and should not expect a fast pace or slasher tone. If the trailer is an equal representation of what the film will be like, I think we have a new horror cult classic on our hands.
The cast includes: Susanne Wuest, Elias Schwarz, Lukas Schwarz, Michael Thomas, and Ulrike Putzer
