El privilegio

They tried to go somewhere here. There was an attempt to create some sort of story, some sort of intensity...there were even rumors of a plot dare I say? But alas, it was all an illusion. Not sure what exactly the director was going for here but if it was a hot mess then - nailed it! Look, a film of this genre (well really one of any genre) can have all the promise in the world, but if it's thrown onto the screen haphazardly audiences are gonna eventually see it for the muddle that it is. In all fairness, if this was spun a different way, and in not such a dysfunctional fashion - maybe it would have succeeded better... Naja.

I think my title explains it... I dont write reviews often, but I wanted to save others not to lose their time... Don't even bother to know what it is... It is incredibly silly, incredibly dull, incredibly boring... As I am also in cinema industry just watched it to see what they were thinking... You dont do this mistake...

The film starts promisingly. It stars some interesting newcomers who are already known from the successful German series Dark. The look of individual scenes is also good and reminds me of a mixture of Stranger things and dark.

However, the story starts to lose its thread after a few minutes. Thus, the story loses itself in a crude mixture of horror, black magic and some splatter. But nothing of it really seriously works. As a viewer, I did not experience any creepy feelings or scared at any point.

For my taste, there were clearly too many logic errors and implausible decisions by the characters. One happy coincidence follows the next.

Overall, the series seems conceptless and lovelessly designed. The best thing is the cast, even if all actors remain below their potential.

Think of The Faculty, made on the cheap.

This German film tells the story of a wealthy family, where tragedy seems to strike the youngsters.

It tries so hard to tick several genre boxes, horror, thriller, sci fi, and therein lies the problem, it dabbles rather than succeeds, if it had provided more by way of scares, it may have worked a lot better.

There's a lot going on, and it's not without interest, there is a mystery which draws your interest, the revelation may have you scratching your head.

Some decent special effects, it is well acted, and shows us some beautiful parts of the country, the scenes from the house are fabulous.

Overall, not terrible, not great, watchable, 5.5/10.

Not heard of this movie before and I watched the film, after reading the disgruntled reviews on here. It's really not a bad movie at all...

What I liked about this film, is that it's easy watching. It's not a hard core horror and focus on the occult/witchcraft.

If you're expecting the Conjuring type movie, it's not that at all. It's definitely low maintenance movie, but still enjoyable.

Nice to see a different storyline/horror, other than a possessed doll or human.
