Review of June

June (I) (2015)
7/10
Interesting version of Carrie
25 March 2019
This is enjoyable horror. It's very well acted, the script is good and the plot plausible for modern horror. It's true there are no real surprises once the piece is up and running, but it has good similarities to Carrie (relationship development with parents and others), and a couple of points that work better, such as the cuteness and extra youth of June and her peers, and the less over-the-top special effects, which are good. That the budget went for good special effects at perhaps the expense of a larger cast was an intelligent stroke, and I'm almost inclined to give this an 8. There is a a welcome spread here of tension leading to moments of horror frenzy, and enough clever mystery to keep one interested. I'd not be surprised if future opinion will regard this sincerely professional production as one that should have enjoyed more credibility and ratings than current.
