You ever have a fancy meal that you can appreciate but it's just not what the doctor ordered? That's how You Won't be Alone left me feeling. It's a beautiful film, that is about witches, and life and other stuff. It's not really a horror movie, even though it's about witches, so if that makes no sense, I can't help you much. I'm not mad at this movie for trying to be something bigger than it is, but I think I'll stick to the tried and true horror tropes instead.

Not for everyone.
"And yet..."
Dark, slow, disturbing, poetic, beautifully shot, tender, makes you ponder your existence, and one of the best portrayals of a witch I have seen.
Watched at Cinema 21.
Different
I was impressed by the unusual storyline as a woman attempts to fit in with normal people even though she is a witch with abnormal abilities. The cast is excellent and scenery spooky. Rapace leads the ensemble and everyone is up to the task. The film is in Serbian and the subtitles are at times not grammatically correct. Even so, I rank this as a top tier horror movie.
