After watching the post apocalyptic entry Hell last night, I
decided to spend some more time behind the screen with the extra hour of sleep
that came from the calendar. I was also to answer a few emails, as some
interesting Bigfoot news popped up from my good friend Jon in Connecticut
Plot/ Newlywed Molly moves into her deceased father's house
in the countryside, where painful memories soon begin to haunt her
This film by Eduardo Sánchez, he of The Blair Witch
Project fame, re-enters that horror realm with this interesting endeavor. Sure,
there are some similarities to his incredible debut, but this one is much more
than that. This one is more of a straightforward supernatural flick full of atmosphere.
The scripting and storyline is complex, the performances solid and the
cinematography works. Sure, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the
first and second parts of the movie, but that can easily be overlooked. In the
end, this is one of the more interesting horror movies I have seen in some
time. Yes, it is not for everyone, and some fans may be turned off by the lack
of action, but if you like psychological horror with a supernatural edge, check
it out.
I watched this one a short while back, and thought it was pretty decent. I see why it could turn some people off with it's creeping approach to horror instead of a balls-to-the-wall aesthetic, but it kept me glued to the screen the whole time.
ReplyDeleteSanchez has an upcoming Bigfoot movie called EXISTS, by the way, which is one I'm looking forward to. Some sources claim it's the beginning of a trilogy--but then again, that's what they said about BLAIR WITCH.
Nice write-up.
