Why it’s HorroRated

HIM is a horror film about the specific way obsession makes people available to something that feeds on that particular vulnerability. The supernatural premise is used in service of observed human behavior and the film's formal control makes the horror feel inevitable rather than imposed. An original and deeply unsettling film.
