Movie Reviews

80 minutes felt longer

The positives - cinematography, the beast was well realised, Toby Stephens & Jodhi May munched through the scenery admirably. The negatives: slow between the gory interludes, there was no sense of the community as a 'real' entity, some performances were a tad wooden. The apparent cause was plausible but it wasn't clear if it was the actual cause. That matters less than the story being balanced between frights and plot. It wasn't.

It's a Metaphor for Social Justice... Again

If you like that - and if you do, you must be in movie heaven the last decade - you'll probably enjoy it. I say this because somehow no other review has mentioned it and I don't want anyone else who's looking for atmospheric, slow-burn, folk horror *without* a lecture about society's ills and how they're mostly men's fault, to spend money on it and be disappointed. Otherwise, enjoy.Ah, not enough characters. I don't have anything much to say (like the movie! Ha!) so I'm going to pad my review with this unnecessary filler (I'd say "like the movie" again, but that's debatable). I wonder if Amazon will give me a refund.

I'm sure I've seen...

Something similar in the last few years but this one was set in a forest in Norway. Same sort of beast but roughly 9 feet tall and it's horns went upwards and not curled inwards. I like horror films but more with a sci-fi look and this wasn't for me at all. Even though I stayed the full course of 80 minutes I was bored before halfway. To say it wasn't scary would be unfair as I don't find any films scary. Toby Stephens is always worth a look-in and if he wasn't in the cast list I probably wouldn't have bothered. Other cast members I had never heard of or I failed to recognise them. It kills 80 minutes if you're bored.
