Beautiful, dark, surreal. This is more a psychological thriller than your typical horror. Some viewers may be disappointed based on expectations of the horror genre but I absolutely loved this film. The cinematography was gorgeous and I really enjoyed Anna Diop's performance. Looking forward to seeing more from director Nikyatu Jusu.
"The spirits equipped us with resilience.
But the spirits' tools aren't always kind.
Some want blood, an eye for an eye.
Some just want you rebirthed so you can persist.
One can never really define good and evil.
My question for you, Aisha:
How do you use your rage?
Is it your superpower,
or is it your kryptonite?"
This one will stay with me for a while.
