Just saw the movie tonight. It does lovecraftian/ creeping horror to a T and is masterfully constructed and presented beautifully. It has some really stunning shots as well. Did anyone else get a sort-of Jacobs Ladder vibe. I have a sneaking suspicion that everything after the car accident is a death/coma vision. He wasn't buckled in when the deer hit and all he gets is a broken leg? No scratches or cuts? There's several scene changes and jump cuts that beg the question of if this eel adventure is real or not. Several points make it strange, such as how did he escape the dentist's chair or for that matter regrow is teeth after? How did the CEO guy reappear alive after floating in the drowning tank, or how did our hero resurrect after drowning himself. A lot of the story comes back to the father's suicide, which is mirrored by the Baron selfishly 'damaging' his child. We are treated to the stag, post crash stumbling, thrashing, collapsing and then dying, then shortly after we see the stag appear again. Hell, it might all be the death dream of the man in the beginning having a heart attack, I don't know. I think there are too many jump cuts and break points to not beg the question of what is real in this film. It's made even more suspect in that our protagonist is going mad throughout.
