Vier

This is actually a new genre.

On Netflix this film was labeled with "horror" and "suspense".

I would call it: "an exciting , dramatic psychological mystery".

Perhaps the only reasons why this movie is so underrated is probably because there's an anticlimax towards the end, that could be understood, but which probably won't be acceptable to the masses.

Moreover, in my opinion, this film has an open ending. That can be difficult for many people because there are no solutions to all of the complex problems that came along in the film's story. That can irritate/sting.

However, it can also be food for thought or to exchange ideas with others.

As such I'm glad that the creators of this film probably stayed true to themselves instead of submitting themselves to what the masses could accept/like.

What I found really strong in this story concerns what possibly might be the theme of this film: "Nothing is what it seems and reality turns out to be way more out of control and out of the ordinary than you can think or you're used to, and usually things don't go the way you want or hope.

The acting was good / excellent and the way the scenery was filmed showed the breathtaking beauty of Austria.

Thanks for this film.

Vier is a really beautiful film, the cinematography and location is great, but it's misleading that it's advertised as some kind of haunting or horror film. This is a straight up drama set in Austria, and it's marketed wrong - not sure if it's due to the language barrier, or someone honestly being stupid enough to think this film qualifies as horror.

Very serious topics are addressed in this film, but ultimately it's done so carelessly, and to be frank I feel like the main character just goes around wrecking other people's lives as if she knows what's best for them. The ending kind of threw me off, and not in a good way.

I'm also not sure why there's an instrumental version of Aha's "Take On Me" utilized in a very slow, mournful tone either, since the past events are set in the late 1990s not the mid-1980s. Whatever. It's a decent watch if you'd like to see a drama but I'm not wild about this flick.

I watched all Landkrimis so far and this is the first one that I really hated. Depressing, without humour and in ever way meaningless. Well played but the content was really bad. Waste of time.

This film is slow and boring to die from.

Nothing happens and the plot is so poor that it is difficult to get interested.

Stories of babies, pregnancies, a female cop, endless useless passages and a final that we see coming from afar. It starts as a police film, it unfolds as a documentary about a fly stuck in a spider's web and it ends in a big nothing. I still don't understand why Amazon Prime put this movie in the "suspense - horror" category because it doesn't have any suspense or horror.

Sounds like an episode of Derrick's sleepy show where an old cop takes four hours to finish a sentence. Better to take a good nap than to waste time watching this endless thing.
