The Maus (2017)
8/10
Symbolic horror
30 March 2019
Fans of David Lynch would enjoy this overlooked gem. The writer of this film skilfully uses The Bosnian genocide in the 90s as a metaphor for this terrifying film. As a horror vet, very little scares me, yet this kept me on the edge of my seat. It does a great job simultaneously being realistic and supernaturally haunting--with a heavy dose of symbolism, to boot--and a clever use of camera work.

The ending is quite a bit confusing, but If you like thinking about what you saw, rather than being spoon-fed, this will be up your alley.
