Superb atmospheric Italian thriller

A young boy goes missing during the Krampus festival. He reappears 5 years later but is he the same boy and where has he been.

Set in the Dolomites in Italy this is a good looking, moody if slow burning mystery that pitches up the tension nicely. It takes it's time to get going but once it does this is a really good intriguing mystery.

It's a good old fashioned film relying on strong acting ( an outstanding performance from Filippo Nigro) and a good script. There aren't any CGI thrills here or blood and guts just a superb sense of menace as the story unravels. If only more English language films took a leaf out of this one's book.

Many thrillers fail at the final hurdle but I thought this one had a good ending which made what went beforehand worthwhile.

This is a classy thriller and well worth watching if you're a fan of foreign films.

Blame

You don't even have to have kids to understand what the main character is going through. You probably are aware what the inciting incident is, something happening very early on with his son. But what is it exactly? And could it have been prevented? And by whom could it have been prevented? Not to mention the question of what actually happened ... are there evil forces at work here? It's something that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

And it's really suspenseful, with quite a few twists and a few things happening along the way. And it's all because the viewer has to constantly guess what is going on. Very clever little thriller, that holds its tension until the end, especially if nobody spoiled the experience for you.

A great thriller

I am a big fan of foreign films and this movie did not disappoint. Unlike American thrillers, it relied heavy on the acting and nothing on the special effects. The ride Filippo Nigro's acting took you on was quite the journey.

The movie was a slow burn, but it did not lose my attention at any point. Each scene was critical to the movie.

The ending twist(s) were incredibly thought out and until right before the very end, I doubt anyone could have seen it coming.

If you don't mind subtitles, and you like thrillers, you will want to check this out.

Excellent Suspense Thriller.

This movie had me glued to my seat, all the way through with the story acting and the final ending what a twist. This is a must see film. 9/10.

A one off brilliant experience..

Why would you take a KID out in that??? :O

Those CREEPY KRAMPUS costumes Scared me, why would you let kids see that?? So many of them?? This was a decent movie, sad, and shows how neglect brings tragic consequences. You know something is off from the Mom's and Grandfathers behavior as well as others in that town, story concludes with a twist I did not see coming. A decent who-dun-what. Alot of behind the scenes trickery and lies going around which lead to even more consequences for everyone involved. Some plot holes, but Worth a 1 time watch.
