The Binding

An Italian terror attempt. It is about a man who takes his girlfriend to his mother's house and his daughter begins to suffer strange situations from his presence. Totally parsimonious, the first hour nothing happens. The last half hour is the one that develops everything. Predictable like all of its kind. Quality. Performances at the level but nothing relevant. The effects are fine, one that another is not fully achieved. Talk about tie downs. The ending is very simple and nothing spectacular. It remains owing. Try to give suspense with hackneyed moments and situations.

It took a couple of attempts to watch this, I fell asleep the first time round.

This film goes in hard with the uncanny. The first half is all creepy music and weird relatives talking secretively in hushed tones. Some herbalist witchcraft is going on and a lot of unusual activity seems to be centred on the daughter.

It takes a tortuously long time for it to become clear why everything is happening and when it does the same plodding pace continues.

A family history touched by tragedy and insanity belatedly reveals a possessive land spirit of sorts that's doomed to seek rebirth through vampire like taking of blood.

In principle is a great idea foe a horror film and something we don't see very often these days. The idea of malevolent forces operating just below the surface of modern life is good but the monotone presentation of this movie lets it down.

Not too bad a film but you may need a good strong coffee to get you through it.

As far as horror movies go, not that bad, the scary lady was creepy as hell and good cinematography. Worked well with a low budget, keeping sets and cast small. The storyline was a bit too boring for the majority of the movie, but pulled through in the end.

Despite the beautiful locations and the promising start, this movies ends up being just a horror like many, many others. The plot is very basic and predictable, and not particularly scary either.

And so should you if supernatural horror your thing but no actual thrilled scares or even jump scares more story driven
