Evie

The description is dead wrong. It's more like a girl finds a "cursed" necklace and then she has family issues. I fully expect this to be a horror movie or horror related but it's not even close. It's not an awful movie if you actually write the real description. I'm rating it based of the description it's given. The last maybe 10 minutes have some mild horror elements but that's as scary as we get . It's more or less a snooze fest. No explanation on the necklace or what it supposedly did to her. She just seems like a messed up kid who grows up with a messed up family. Nothing to do with demons or any of the likes.

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.

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.

Ok. So the first 8 minutes was interesting and caught my attention. Every minute after that was so boring it was putting me to sleep. I can't believe the director and film editors saw the final cut of this movie and thought "that's great, people will love it". Absolutely nothing happens for the rest of the movie. You get to watch this girl pour booze in her face and that's the extent of the movie. It's no spoiler to say it's a supernatural ghost movie but they don't explain anything. I think they implied what it was at the beginning but this movie is such a cluster flop you have no idea. Needless to say I do not recommend this movie. You'll find more excitement doing laundry or waiting for your fingernails grow.
