Caveat (2020)

October Challenge Day 19

To my complete surprise I never logged or wrote up a review about this movie - which I've seen three times now. 

Let's talk about:

Caveat

This movie's premise is WILD.

Here we have the story of a very sus uncle who leaves a strange man - locked in chains - at a decaying mansion so that this strange man can watch over his mentally unstable niece. 

Bruh, what?

Hot off the heals of my review of the director's other film, Oddity, this story hits all the creepy crawlies and leaves you with a certain sense of doom you have yet to encounter.

This film is gross but not in a gory way. It's just - you don't want to touch anything here. You don't want to sit any any chairs (they all look unstable) and you certainly don't want to go in the basement or the fridge!

This story also looks like it smells musty, and of decay and regret. All to say I loved it.

This film upsets me on so many levels, mostly because I can't contain it in any *review*. It gives me feels that I don't understand - and don't want to understand, frankly. It makes my brain itch and my skin crawl. I always have so many questions but I don't want any answers. 

This film is a dream and a reality I fear. It's also all over the place but in the most organized way.  This is not a horror film for everyone, but everyone should see it at least once. 

Best watched alone or with one other person you Do Not Trust, Much. Paris with dusty, dented cans of soup all lined up in a row. Don't eat them though. 

I watched this film on Shudder, or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this soul snatching feature.
