I'd meant to watch this one for years after hearing nothing but acclaim for it. It's definitely in the weird category of films that I can respect much more than I can enjoy, having an undeniably slow pace and dry demeanor. It reminds me a little of The Love Witch in the way its sleepy tone pairs with its absolute brutality. I'm always down for experimentation with horror tropes and the viewers perception of a movie monster, and the way the film flips its own title (which immediately brings in notions of a woman in danger) is pretty brilliant.
I don't know that I would watch it again. I don't know that I even really enjoyed watching it this time? It's films like these that are the hardest to rate fairly, because it is objectively well-shot, well-acted, well-scripted and an excellent concept.
Think I'll go 8/10, but maybe a low 8
