***½
Hyped up as to be the next Exorcist, the description doesn't really apply though as this movie
shows more psychological horror than anything else.
The son of a psychologist dies and the parents settle down to a cabin in the mountains to heal but everything goes wrong. Metaphoric images and occurings show the many sides of grieving and depression and the general fear of loss. Needless to say, Trier might have gone a bit too far, but this film's visually challenging cinematography justifies it. Worth-while watching despite the gore bits.
