How it scared people
The vibe
One house, one field, one man in pink bandages holding a pair of scissors — Vigalondo builds a time-loop thriller out of almost no money and zero exposition, and the mechanism clicks shut so neatly it hurts. It's filed as horror mostly on the strength of the first twenty minutes, which play as a stalker film before you understand what you're watching.
