6/10
Not that bad, not that good. Just.. Ok

I was reading the reviews before putting my own here.

This is not a 2 or for stars (of 10) not a 8 or 9.

It is slow and it intends to tell the story from the "point of view" of an unreliable narrator, that being Regine herself. As of this kind of style in narrative has had been done before and in a much better ways with more effective results, we cannot say is terrible just for this.

It is actually a little derivative, and even predictable (I, myself, resolved the "mystery" within the first half of the movie).

Performances are pretty good, for the 2 main characters, because Udo Kier is excellent in what he does, and Amber gave a great performance as a fractured soul with a fractured mind.

The end and resolution was kind of knowable since a mile away. But, it was well executed.

This is intended as an "artsy" thriller drama. Not that bad, but not as profound as it was trying to be.

For me could be 5/10 but I give one more point for Udo and Amber (and even the child actress portraying young Regine).

As a curiosity: Hellheim Institute called my attention as Hellheim is the Hell Realm in Norse Heathenry.

Not exactly recommend it, but for making a critic we all must watch before. And to the very end.

6/10 for me. Watch at your own risk.
