I'm not sure why this film has been so mislabeled. It is obviously not a horror movie, or a drama, or a thriller. Anyone who knows the meaning of those words would know that. There is nothing scary about it, dramatic about it, or thrilling about it. It's just simply none of those things.
What it is 1,000% though is Fantasy. It's about as fantasy as it gets. Anyone can see that. So I'm not sure why they wouldn't label it as such. They can choose 3 categories to use for films here, and yet they didn't choose fantasy for any of them. That is very odd.
And it is quite counter-intuitive to do so from a marketing standpoint. Because I ended up watching this movie when I was in the mood for a horror film and thriller...I wanted something that was going to get my adrenaline pumping. And this movie does the opposite of that. If you are in the mood for something thrilling and scary, this is not the film to watch, because it is extremely boring for someone who wants that. For not only does it not get the adrenaline pumping, but it is actually a very slow and low key movie.
As I said, what it is is a fantasy film. And if you are in the mood for a fantasy film, this is an OK one that may just tickle your fancy for that. You will probably enjoy it if thats what you want. But if you are looking for a horror or thriller you are just setting yourself up for disappointment.
