‘The Home’ Review: There’s No Rest at the Rest Home in Spooky Swedish Thriller
The premiere of SXSW’s Midnighter is expected to prompt remake proposals, but the increased shock moments and violence that might be added would weaken what gives Mattias J. Skoglund’s second film such impact. Its subtly quiet narrative of a supernatural tale holds a stronger enchantment than many larger, louder “possession” films filled with frightening effects and excessive elements. In this modestly sized, unassumingly matter-of-fact horror show, less is truly more.
