I had heard much about this film and was anticipating a tense and nerve shredding ride, but there was little in the way of story even if we are to believe the hype about its connection to Greek Mythology (Prometheus and Proteus).

Whilst the Greeks were masters of universal storytelling, this film falls far short of. The main lesson from the film, I can't really say story, is that masturbation and excessive alcohol use are bad life choices!

The reason for giving it two stars is based purely on the cinematography, celebrating the work of Jarin Blaschke (The Northman, The Witch, Nosferatu (2020)) His work embodies the mood of stark isolation and a man against nature atmosphere.

Thomas (Willem Defoe) and Ephraim (Robert Pattinson) have little in the way of redemptive qualities and that for me causes a problem of not being able to connect emotionally with the characters.

All in all, a disappointing affair. I expected more and received less.
