Judith, an emergency doctor in Berlin, learns she has inherited a house in Austria from those who abandoned her as a child. Well set on returning to Germany once the said house is sold, she realizes her kindly hosts intend to prolong her stay much longer…
From Full Circle to Candyman, the hellish nightmare of the trapped woman could be seen as a fantasy sub-genre. Undeniably, Andreas Prochaska knows his classics. This modern variation on Rosemary’s Baby reconstructs Polanski’s grotesque patterns, and mimics Mia Farrow’s gestures and expressions of fear, with a Gerti Drassl often looking eerily like her. The filmmaker opts for a realism that crumbles slowly away and flirts with the incantations of folk horror.
