This movie has the locale and offbeat style of Fargo mixed with the subtext of The Shining.

The horror movie plays like a Black Mirror episode if the “technology gone wrong” motif shifted into something far more existential and Lovecraftian.
Its finale can only be described as Terry Gilliam meets David Cronenberg.
One part Black Mirror and one part dysfunctional relationship drama, before somehow ending like an ’80’s slasher movie.
A story centered around an all-female cult of mothers and daughters led by a Jesus-like figure.
Director Peter Strickland cribs quite a bit from Dario Argento, tossed with some David Lynch for good measure, and wraps his film up in a pair of kitchen-sink dramas
With its breadth of imagination and unflinching look at the ravages of gang warfare, the movie blends Stephen King’s cusp-of-innocence vibe with Charles Dickens’s exposure of social ills.
In the near-future, a virus has caused a zombie apocalypse in Germany, leaving only two cities inhabited by humans.
