Filhos do Privilégio

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
