a little slow, a little lingering and slightly repetative, but still a good movie. it was definitely unsettling, and wasnt quite what i expected (i was thinking posession at first).
Ending was the best part atleast it was a tiny bit interesting.
Creepy, disgusting... well acted, the musical score did wonders for setting the mood. Ultimately it was a little slow and fell on it's face at the end.
Couldn’t stay awake with this collage of scenic screen savers and British accent with such boring monotone subjects! Miss Violence is more of my slow burn cup of tea!
This is the whitest movie ever made.
