Now and then a film comes out of nowhere that really thrills you, and Sator is one of them; the story is deliberately ambiguous, but this folk horror film about a family under the influence of a maleficent supernatural spirit is visually amazing, with wonderful framing and camera movement, and an atmosphere of chilling dread that any soulless "hit" horror movie would die for. The director Jordan Graham seems to have made this filn virtually by himself, and it's an amazing calling card for bigger but hopefully no less idiosyncratic films. An acquired taste (not for the lazy), but quite exceptional.
score 9/10
