Difficult. Not a full-blooded horror, by the way, despite the label on IMDB. More of an experimental psychological thriller with a great setting. We are in the 70s or 80s in the former GDR where people walk in the line of the Stasi party. The people are docile and do what is expected of them. Here and there a few individuals who want to break the system, but without organized or large-scale action not much happens.
Music is central. Music makes people calm or ... rebellious. I didn't think much of it. Visually it is worth it with the alternating use of color in red, green and blue tones. Great sound too. The framework makes up for a lot where the plot goes wrong. But horror, well, not that either.
