Das Privileg

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.

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.

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.

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.
