LYST 2017 (ANOTHER WORLD) BLU-RAY

My God what a bleak film this is.

This is a movie about a young female author who writes crime books with an erotic edge is raped by an obsessed fan.

She locks herself in her apartment and never goes out. We see her slowly lose the ability to know what is real or not. This is shades of "Repulsion" from 1962, but far, far more bizarre and bleak.

This really isn't a horror film, but neither is it a standard crime drama. It was filmed in Denmark and it just really shows what kinds of movies other countries are making that we almost never get to see.

Magdalena From Delis is very good as the writer Lisa Rostorp and everyone else does a very good job as well. There are some shocking scenes involving a hammer and I could barely look atthem they are so damned good.

If you're looking for something a bit different you might want to check this out. There are a lot of negative things said about this film, but I say watch and decide for yourself. You'll never forget it..and what a twist at the end!!
