Dagr

So this feels simply lost in motion, and rather silly at best. Everything is falling apart for our duo, and they take nothing serious, but things are not as they appear and they may be in real trouble.

Everything is finally in full swing and all Hell is breaking loose, and our characters are in full panic mode.

I freaking love Occult Horror films, as they've so much to draw from or create their own mythology, and are just plain fun to geek out on. This film is a lot more fun than I expected from its initial start and the silliness, it really was quite deceiving... Blog this... lol...

I saw the trailer before the movie came out and I was pretty excited for it. Watched it with some expectations but didn't expect much from it.

Turned out to be complete disaster. The storyline is just boring and doesn't make any sense. It just looks like the movie is made out of random clips not even connected to each other. Characters don't have a personality and we can't really bond with them. They do stupid decision and die for no reason.

Cheap jumpscares and actors that can't really express emotions. They talked too many useless things that didn't bring anything to the "story"

Overall the movie wanted to be a cheap copy of movie "Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor"

Don't recommend watching it 😐

Saw the 4.7 and thought ok lets try it.

It was almost too painful to watch and I had to resort to the fast forward button. The action, if you can call it that doesn't start until 3/4 of the way into the film.

Whilst realising this is meant to be from the perspective of a youtubers camera I have to say I think my primary school age daughter could have done better.

In short its a painfully long drawn out build up to what amounts to a half cooked attempt at supernatural horror.

Make sure you bring lots of energy drink because you need it to prevent yourself from falling asleep.

Bring a pot of paint too and hit the walls with it. You might find the paint drying is more fun to watch.

Despite its short runtime, "Dagr" manages to bore the viewers within a short timespan. As a matter of fact, you have to sit through more than half the film before some attempts at horror tropes appear. This is just one of the more tangible evidences of Matthew Butler-Hart's struggles with the writing and direction of "Dagr". Whatever his point with this film was (I'm sure he had one) is not displayed even at the slightest. Some sort of social commentary? Who knows? When the folk horror themes is unraveled at the end, no answers are given anyways due to its convolution. And yes, we've seen the found-footage-within-a-found-footage horror movie trick before.

I saw this title advertised and came here to check it out. It had like a 6 yesterday. So I got it and watched it. I don't understand where in the world they got the 6 from. Now it's a 4.9. And it had over 1k yesterday. Anyway, if it looks too good to be true it probably is...

So yeah. This has got to be one of the seemingly lowest budget films I've seen in a while. They like rented a mediocre, cheap villa in the English countryside, probably on Airbnb. And they rented 3 cars. And probably advertised on Craigslist for 2 main and 4 supporting actors... or wherever it is you get actors 'off the street' these days. I think the whole thing was shot like over a weekend. Less than a week, tops. They could have believably shot the whole thing in one day, like one of Willis' recent movies.

They went for a documentary style, of sorts, and probably really did use phones for the majority of the footage. I mean the premise was sort of interesting, and probably could have gone somewhere... but the whole thing was just like a high school movie final project that got a b-. That's the overall vibe I got from it. The main characters were annoying as hell. So they are famous social media performers/influencers who steal? Do you know how easy it would be for the police to get them? I'm not going to even... yeah.

The monster in the movie, I've seen middle-schoolers' Halloween costumes that put more effort into the concept and execution than this. And he kept repeating the same chant over and over again. Except it wasn't even chant-y sounding, or creepy in any way. It was like a guy repeating my take out order over the phone. I know what they were going for, but in this case, it was not scary or effective at all. It just became extremely annoying and ridiculous after the first encounter.

Ok, enough, like I said, I only watched this because I saw it had a 6 and read some of the obviously fake reviews. So I was waiting for it to get good, and by the time I lost all hope and realized it was fake I was more than halfway through so I just finished it. Ugh.
