I am a fan of dark comedies, and usually the darker, the better. Unfortunately, this is neither comedic, nor entertaining. There are some interesting concepts explored, but the entire film is an exercize in the depths of human behavior, both in term of controling others and being controled to the point of losing all self-actualizing potential.I stopped watching it when the teenage boy savagely murders a cat, which the family takes to be a dangerous enemy.The filming was like some poor farmer's homage to Bergman, but it was poorly done. The obtuseness and objectification of the characters gave them no depth. It is a flat, worthless piece of inane garbage, and in no way stimulating to the mind.I was worse than disappointed.
