I just wanted to weigh in and say that the experience was very unique. The way the movie is crafted truly is masterful and completely different than what you would expect from a modern American film, as you pointed out. But what will make this movie forever stick in my mind is the final scene. I have never had such a terrifying experience while watching a movie before. Truly powerful.
