Black Daruma

This is a really interesting take on the found footage style film. It's technically a POV film, but the POV is a seemingly inanimate object for most of the movie.

It's definitely unique within the genre, and the performances and tension were really well executed. It's a delicate balance because especially the lead role could easily go too broad and become silly, but there's a commitment to the central premise of the story that makes it work. Also, the dynamic between the husband and wife is fraut with really effective tension and anxiety.

I had a really good time with this one and will be interested to see what these brothers make next.

You're forced into seeing with the doll's eyes but from who's eyes is the story more horrifying? The doll, the guy or his other half?

After an off kilter start to the film, seeing their desperate descent into a broken reality was pretty sobering as someone who has experienced psychosis.

The cringe and comedy in watching someone lose their mind is both entertaining, and nauseating as it evolves.

Still rattled by the ending and think this one will stay with me longer than I'd like.

Not sure I'll reccomend it as it disturbed me so much, but that's probably a sign of a good psychological horror movie haha!

Ok not usually into Indie Brit movies as I generally find them with awful acting as well as poor special effects rounded off with a dumb plot line.

I thought well its had one review and it could be a fake rating as movie companies do that sometimes to rate the movie up the rating charts.

Suprisingly this is a very good Indie horror with a peep eye for the camera shot all the way through the movie which I loved as it reminded of how the comedy UK show peep show was filmed so was impressed with the visuals for this movie.

No spoilers but acting was great and the plot line was great too that you dont notice the film running time of 116 min.

If you are fed up with some of the American B horror movies which they keep releasing on us poor Brits then do check this movie out you wont be disappointed.

8/10 Really loved it which makes a change as I said its just a small independent movie.

Absolutely love the quirkiness and style of this film!! A breath of fresh air! Horror with humour! An amazing combination. Didn't want it to end. I've watched this several times already, filmed in Sheffield too which as a Sheffield girl, is a bonus. You really never know what's coming next with this one. It has highs, lows, humour, scares, what more can you pack into a film. Very quirky the way it is filmed through the eyes of the doll too. I love the Watts brothers style, it's not your average run of the mill expected movie experience. It's great to see new unexpected actors involved, instead of big names too.

There's no nice way to put it; this movie is terrible. It's not interesting at all. The characters aren't engaging and nothing really happens. Ithe main character is extremely annoying and the entire movie is annoying and boring. I was ready to shut it off within the first minute but thought it would improve at some point. It drug on and on and never went anywhere. I need more than two hundred more characters for this review but have already said enough about how terrible this film is. There is nothing remotely entertaining or redeeming about it. I'm even more annoyed that after sitting through such a bad film, I have a minimum of 500 characters to leave a review.
