U.S. version of the Danish psychological horror film (which itself was almost entirely in English).
This remake turned out to be exactly what I thought it would be. It follows the initial beats of the earlier film closely, but the entire third act has been completely overhauled to make it more palatable for American audiences. The original was much more brutal and uncompromising and stayed with me longer, while this one felt predictable, watered down and ephemeral. Ho-hum.
I'm still very annoyed by the marketing of this movie, which gave away one of the major twists at the end. Maybe they should have taken the advice on the poster and shut the fuck up.
