El privilegio

This is a little tidbit of many horror movies over the past ten years thrown together. Body Snatchers, check. Witch, check. Hereditary, check. Get Out, check. Crazy but maybe not crazy, check. Insidious, check. It tries to be a little of everything and accomplishes little. The ending is so thrown together it appeared the director filmed the last 30 minutes of the movie in one afternoon. Dialogue bad, time-space continuum off(one moment I walked to place in five minutes, next time I am driving half the night to get to same place). And one of those worst security ever movies where people walk right into top-secret places with no problem(I've had more difficulty walking into Costco with no card). Not sure what I watched, but I lost 90 minutes of life.

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.

I'm so sorry but this left me so confused and disappointed. The plot was bad and the execution worse, clearly suffering from bad writing. I shouldn't have wasted my time on this.

I found the plot overall really interesting, but at parts it felt like it didn't completely explain everything when the mystery starts to come out. Almost a little rushed.

It has its creepy moments, and I love the use of the fugus, I think it's a bit of cool lore. And a nice way to connect the natural with the super natural. I think the main characters are really likeable too, and you are rooting for them. It has some really nice touches, and overall I really enjoyed it.

It feels as though they needed more time to tell the interesting story.
