El privilegio

So many things happening in quick successions and I checked it's only 30 minutes in. The first 2/3 of the movie has a rapid pace like Geminis flipping through the channels (no offence to Geminis everywhere). Kinda like The Crimes of Grindelwald but even quicker.

It's a blend of everything from Resident Evil, Conjuring/Insidious, Us and the usual teenage drama stuff. However with everything happening this needs to double its runtime or a 4-6 episode miniseries. 100 minutes duration is just too rushed.

Production is exquisite, the locations and atmosphere feels authentic. Acting is good.

I'd recommend this if you want to take a break from glacially-paced shows and it should be a much better experience with a few glasses of Sancerre.

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.

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 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 Privilege wastes no time as within 10 minutes, there's blood, some violence, an evil creature and a death. The bold and horrifying opening is enough to capture your attention and build your curiosity to know more.

Overall, Netflix's latest German supernatural film doesn't pack any scares or screams due to a rushed plot and weak execution. It has enough bloodshed, gore, black magic and bad guys. But none of them is used in full potential to appreciate the interesting premise.
