A Classic Horror Story

I didn't have great expectations, but I ended up enjoying it. A bit of meta-cinema that might seem forced at times, but overall good and entertaining; better than 95% of horrors on Netflix.

It's a film that has a high risk of being hated by many for the way it subverts our expectations. It's also a film made by people who clearly love cinema, full of excellent production values, charismatic acting and with a strong social message. It takes patience and isn't as bloody and scary as it was sold, but its third act makes the whole trip worth it.

Blair Witch meets The Village meets Midsommar. There you go.

The name says everything. I found it to be a clever homage to horror, with elements/inspiration from The Evil Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Midsommar, The Cabin in the Woods. It's like comfort food. More like this please!

With the passage of time people are becoming hyper critical and nit picky movie snobs and I'm tired of it. You'll see many of the same people who give nothing but low scores and give the same reason for why the movie is bad. If for no other reason the insight in to an Italian folk legend that is completely unknown to us should immediately get respect on its own but this is a great story with excellent pace fantastic visuals with talented people putting on an excellent show top to bottom. It's scary without jump scares it's tense and with an unexpected and well thought out story arc's that's more than one story arc. You want to be entertained by something new that is also done well you'll enjoy this movie a lot. Not details about the movie because what's the point of that anyway.
