Probably the gayest horror movie I’ve ever scene

I liked the story overall and loved the knife concept. Anne and Lois's relationship was a bit too distracting for me.
Amazing movie about a killer targeting people on a movie team, as a LGBT person myself worried going into it. But it really created a haunting kind of dark and mystical atmosphere that was awesome to see. You really get to know all the characters well and the ending was great I got so into the story especially with the background of killer being explained fully. Overall just very well done.
Beautiful and inviting. Yann Gonzalez outdoes Argento! From the opening homage referencing William Friedkin's Cruising to the gorgeous cinematography that recalls early Argento as well as scenes that remind one of Brian DePalma's best films, Knife + Heart is a must-see. The fantastic soundtrack by m83 is also a significant addition to the film's atmosphere.
