A slow burner of a folk horror film that i really enjoy. The central premise of ancient custom and folklore is nicely explored and the idea that when a face is created on a clay jug then that person should be sacrificed to an ancient creature is quite Lovecraftian in it's execution.
The film is clearly low budget yet is so small scale you don't really notice. Larry Fessenden, the director of Wendigo and The Last Winter is one of the actors here, but due to the thick atmosphere and ambiance you'd swear he also directed it too. The film boasts strong performances all round giving the whole thing a very believable air which all culminates in an original and interesting horror movie.
The Arrow Blu-ray is very nice and features in the Dementer limited edition set. |
This is on shudder might watch it tomorrow.
Another which was a first viewing and really enjoyed it's very enjoyable and can see a love of the genre, a group of film students host a all night horror marathon but unknowing too them a killer is stalking the aisles, lots of red herrings and watch out for Dee Wallace Stone.
Watched Fangoria chainsaw awards 2022 while it's very cheesy and very low budget its quite enjoyable and 1000 times better than the Oscars. Was nice that John Carpenter got award for best music score, the chainsaw award is also nicer than the dull old Oscar.
Now watching first film of season 4 of Joe Bob, this one is night of the living dead, at 3 hours will not be watching in one go.
