Evie

Good build up and interesting story if a little slow in the beginning. I was in suspense the whole time! Great acting from a new actress particularly for such a young girl - she was phenomenal , interested to see her in any future products ! It was nice to see the effort to bring awareness to the mental health community in such an interesting way as a psychological thriller. And a great job done from a first time director it was a thourougly enjoyable watch and i reccomend that you give it a go.

Wonderful casting, brilliant writing and good directing and camerawork from start to finish. Definitely an 8/10.

Give it a watch!

Evie, her older brother Tony, and their mother are walking their beach when she finds an amulet. She starts wearing it and seems to change in personality. It's years later. Evie is a young troubled woman. She and Tony had been separated for many years after they were sent to an orphanage for some reason. She reconnects with her brother and regains her disturbing childhood memories.

This is an English indie horror. It struggles to gain the needed spooky atmosphere. It has the horror music score but daylight indie filming robs it of that horror tone. Still, I like watching a creepy kid in a horror. I don't mind the first act, but then it switches. It's a lot of holding back the story for a slow incremental reveal. It's a little precious with the story and doesn't give it a great payoff.

I am a sucker for anything folk horror, so the fact that I almost turned this off about 20 minutes in was surprising.

The action moved at an uncomfortably quick pace that felt awkward and clunky. Come to find out it was just a prelude and it ended up settling into something more interesting. This movie is heavy on conversation and light on the action. They did a good job keeping up the suspense, slowly building up to the climax but nothing really exciting happens until the last 4th of the movie. The ending was also pretty unfulfilling and left you wondering what REALLY happened as not much was really explained. The movie as a whole was shot nicely, edited interestingly and had high picture quality. The acting was also generally successful across the board.

This story definitely had some potential it just felt a bit undercooked. It was a decent experience in total, but definitely on the lower end so I would only loosely recommend this to someone who is partial to folk horror.

2 stars because the cast isn't bad, this wasn't a line up of actors taking anything just to get seen, they'd been in other works and are rather accomplished. But simply not a film about a girl who finds a cursed necklace on the shore and sets free a water demon that wants to claim her and those she loves, as it is advertised to be. If this film is trying to be clever and say something else, about life, or the struggles we face, I don't know to be honest, it fails there too.

So, a horror that isn't a horror, or what it says on the tin. Yes, it's better than any film I've ever written, but that shouldn't be the benchmark. Avoid.

This movie is just terrible. Unclimactic. Zero story line. A girl finds a necklace and becomes evil. No character or story development. It is just completely lousy. Really i struggle to find one good thing about this movie. The acting is terrible, who casted this awful woman as the lead i just don't even know. I want my time back wasted on this piece of junk. I'm not sure who gave this movie a 9 but I'm pretty sure they must be personally invested in this POS in some way. It doesn't even deserve credit for being entertaining because it was just boring and really poorly written and directed. It's not scary at all - its simple ridiculous.
