Flawed but skin-crawling feature. One of the best horror/thriller movies to come out this year
I really don’t understand how this film only has a 5.6 rating on here. Are we really that desperate to get baited with a jumpscare that a good film like this will simply get overlooked and criticized for simply building up suspense?Anyways, while the movie may tend to get a bit tedious towards the midpoint, it does tend to feed you just enough information to keep you intrigued until the last half hour, which is absolutely exceptional and possibly the most scared I’ve ever been watching a horror. However, that does not change that fact that if you miss a tidbit of info, you may become lost and therefore uninvested in the film from there. Sean Harris and Alun Armstrong both do exceptional jobs in their roles in this film; their performances alone are worth seeing this film. The puppet or “Possum” is pure nightmare fuel, and some of the practical affects of this film are really quite convincing in making it seem alive. The soundtrack by the Radiophonic Workshop in this film is unbelievable, and I don’t think this movie would be able to succeed without it.
There’s also countless metaphors throughout the movie, several shots that pay homage to movies such as Trainspotting, and an absolutely shocking ending. However, it’s probably best that there are no spoilers on this review, and instead recommend that you see this film yourself. If you’re into horror movies with a large level of suspense throughout, without relying on the easy satisfaction of jumpscares, this film should definitely be next on your list.
Mind of its own
My Amazon copy claimed to be region 0 but did not play on either of my DVD players, having a region code error. It did play on my computer set up to play region 2. Both the package and DVD printing claim to be region zero. Another example of Amazon bait and switch.Philip (Sean Harris) returns to his childhood home from (prison?) where he was raised by his uncle Maurice (Alun Armstrong). Philip carries a bag with a puppet with a human head and a spider body. He has a book where as a child he wrote about his metaphoric baggage. We know there was an incident where he was bullied as a child and his uncle was a teacher. Most of the film we see Philip mope around, moving erratically, a dysfunctional human with an unkempt uncle. This is another example of someone putting crap on a wall and calling it art. I was bored at the pretentious attempt and with Philip.
I imagine the acting was good, but I was not entertained by someone missing the commode and hitting the wall.
