La leyenda de la viuda

Firstly: I hate Blair Witch copies, and pretty much anything depending on shaking handheld cameras.

The first 15 minutes or so was therefore quite challenging.

The Movie is not the gore/slasher/evil type of horror, it is simply creepy. The buildup, the characters, the atmosphere: great!

I do believe this movie is under-rated, 3.9? I give it an easy 7.

In fact, it is probably better but I started of expecting crap and the first section lived up to the expectation.

On the second viewing, the annoyance was gone, and the creep factor was pure entertainment. My spawn got all wrapped up and ranted in monologues about how things are not supposed to be like that! Fun, fun, Fun!

Very much Blair Witch-ish, with some of the worst English fubbing I've ever heard. Much better to watch it in Russian with English subs.

I was forced to watch it dubbed, as AmazonPrime only had dubbed version. The dubbing was anime-quality, absolutely atrocious.

The story itself took much longer to get to its central hook than I expected, and once it did get there, it proceeded to do very little. Pretty much almost nothing actually happened apart from the finding of the old woman naked in the woods, Zoya. It's from her repeated ramblings that we pretty much get all the real exposition.

Beyond that, nothing that actually happened seemed in any way connected to the "The Widow" concept at all. We barely even see much of anything beyond some musical stings, people acting strangely, and eyes going black.

The image on the poster is essentially a lie, as nothing appears in the film that looks like that. This whole thing has elements of The Blair Witch Project, but with somehow even less actual stuff going on.

Watch with subtitles if you have a choice. The voice dubbing is pretty distracting. At least in the beginning. It's worth a watch though. If you're bored and have nothing else.

Overall (1h 26m), this movie decent but the main plot is not expressed or what could say is, I'm not satisfied, it requires some kind of background story elements, have some patience it takes some time like 10mins at first and later on you will get sticked till the end, one more thing the whole locations match-up best with music it's really nice but the english version not been synced to the original (Russian) and if you are a kind of person want some horror it's the one..
