Best horror I've seen all year. Danish couple get friendly with a Dutch couple on holiday and go visit them. Shit gets weird.
On Shudder now. [9]

Drama about a teenage girl in London who struggles to look after herself and her younger brother after their mum abandons them. The film was made primarily with a young cast of inexperienced actors who brought their own input to their roles and it shows in the authenticity of their interactions and dialogue. It all feels very natural and that adds to the power of the film, quite bleak for most of its runtime with a few rays of light dotted through but ultimately an insight to the experiences of girls like these.

I genuinely can’t decide whether you’re describing an actual film that exists, or jokingly referring to the fact that both those things happen in the original story - which is indeed brill, but rarely seen.
It’s my problem with pretty much all adaptations of Pinocchio that I’ve seen - that they invariably sugar coat what is a mostly very dark and messed up tale. I remember reading the original to my daughter and both of us regularly stopping to look at each other and remark on how crazy the story was. (A fact we both enjoyed.)
