1906 and this couple lives in the woods, miles from the nearest town, yet listen to their radio each night. So I figure they must have somehow tapped into Nicola Telsa's wireless electricity. That's the only logical possibility. While listening to the radio they do some sort of holistic, mind spiraling, new wave dance, followed by flashing lights, and this goes on for a very, very, long time. Then there is some wood chopping and a little dialogue. Each picking apart a small potato, as if near starvation, while completely ignoring two beautiful loaves of bread on the table. Then the radio is turned on again and the dancing starts followed by flashing lights, once again lasting a long time. Then a woman shows up and joins in on the weird dancing and then sleeps on the floor. I don't think I exposed any spoilers, because nothing happens. You might ask why I continued watching. All I can say is, I thought something might happen.

I kept watching and watching to try and figure this movie out.

If you're looking for a horror movie, this isn't it.

Very intentionally slow, and I think the acting was deliberately dry.

Lots of bizarre symbolism in this movie was hard to interpret.

A couple in 1906 living out in the middle of nowhere take in a strange woman burying her husband in the creek. Then she seemingly disappears.

Although they use oil lamps, they apparently have electricity, since they have a large radio which never seems to pull in any stations, and what looks like a light bulb outside their house.

Also, the man lights his hand-rolled cigarette with a Zippo-style lighter, which wasn't invented until 1933.

Lots of strange sequences that made little sense. But I didn't hate it.

I fast forwarded through some of this when my remote wouldn't stop... that was the best thing that happened in this movie. The worst thing was all the parts I did watch.

What an unbelievable mess. I really feel the need to warn people off from this, seriously, because some losers came on here and jacked up the rating to 7...

The acting in this is, well, to say wooden would be an insult to wood. Among all the other pointless nonsense that 'happens' there are two very long, very boring, and infinitely pointless dance sequences - the 2nd of which prompted me to use fast forward. I found myself saying.. this has to end any second, right? I mean, whatever point they could possibly be trying to make was made like 3 minutes ago... but nooooo, just keep on dancing. And badly at that.

You were warned.
