Hmmm, might skip this one for those same reasons. Might be a bit too disturbing for me.

This was a really good film. Disturbing, but they avoid showing the worst of the physical violence, it ends up being more psychological terror and drama, a lot of it is about the abusive relationship between the husband and wife. All 3 central performances are incredible.

What a shame this has had such a weak opening weekend in the US. I would recommend seeing this, it'd be nice to see West Australian talent get a bit of exposure.

EDIT: It appears I misread the opening weekend numbers. I was under the impression it was out in the US already but the numbers on "The Numbers" are for the preview screenings in Australia, despite being listed under international, I guess "domestic" means "USA", not "The country it was made in"?

This looks intense. Definitely interested in seeing this.

A friend just watched it. Said they show a dog getting beat to death. I know it's fake but I hate animal violence in movies. This sounded interesting but I'm going to have to pass based on that.

They actually don't show anything. It happens, but you don't physically see it.

Is that the Australian release?

I see that it's getting an Arrow release in the UK. AND a media book in Germany. I love me some German media books.

Still haven't seen it though.

If you're the cautious type, I ordered it and I'll confirm when it gets here because there could be a small possibility the customer service rep had no idea and you never really know. But I'm excited either way.
