A potential classic but not for viewers who like spoon fed storylines. Read if you would like my interpretation This movie in years to come will be touted as a classic cinematic masterpiece , however for years viewers have been given easy to follow storylines and like an applebees meal, simple and microwaveable some are not getting this movie.
A cast of seven.make a wonderful suspense filled thriller with no green screen explosions or flying effects, just atmosphere and some deep fake technology.
Harper has recently lost her husband in a tragedy and she rents a country house to find herself and get away from London.
She is met by the landlord who is an eccentric aristocratic type and he shows her the house and leaves her to it.
The next parts can be open to varied theories but my take is that Harper had massive guilt over the death of her husband.
She fixated on the imagery of the landlord , his face and from that point in her psychosis every man she saw was the same features of Geoffrey (the landlord).
She is stalked by a naked man in the woods (Geoffrey)
She goes to the church and a boy outside and the vicar all look like Geoffrey, what they say is received as blame towards her for the death of her husband.
Goes back to the house man from woods tries to break in, calls police, officer in charge face is Geoffrey, .says he's releasing the stalker.
In the final scene each character with the face of Geoffrey gives birth to another character until in the end she sees her husband who says this is what you did to me.
Her friend arrives at dawn to find Harpers car wrecked and her sitting outside picking flowers covered in blood.
I believe Harper crashed the car from coming from the pub, Geoffrey who was there came to the house to see what happened and she stabbed him with the knife and hit him with the axe in her psychosis, thus blood trails at the door and over her dress.
I enjoyed the movie, make of it what you will but there is always room for thought provoking movies like this, open to interpretation, like Mulholland Drive or Swimming Pool.
