Reviews
Review Links:
- Richard Scheib at Moria film reviews ([ link]) - "(4/5) What we end up with emerges as an utterly fascinating and genuinely original film – one part H.P. Lovecraft... another part ...fascinating glimpse in on the human race from the viewpoint of someone who has lived a very long time, and one other part something like modern indie romance...."
