K T @Cinemasad Feb 15 What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck? See more Samantha L. @Samantha.Henry.Diva Nov 5 The unique storyline is top tier. The plot twist made me sit forward a little bit as the movie got more twisted in very unexpected but lightly fictional jump, ah ha moments, and what the heck late developments. See more Stephen G @patient1 Sep 26 This has been a great story of witchcraft and the lengths one will take to achieve their goal. I was impressed that the story felt kinda believable in a folk lore setting, creepy and filled with deception and intriguing shenanigans. I must admit the actors did a great job as I found myself increasingly annoyed at their stupidity and recklessness in most of their actions in each sequence. The ending was actually what I was hoping for, but you'll probably figure it out as they lead into it quite well I'd gather. See more Ben D @RT87620530 01/23/2025 This is a grotesque, gothic, horror-thriller that some reviewers are (inaccurately) considering a comedy. Ed (Carloto Cotta) receives a notification through a 23andMe-like company that he has family in Portugal. He and his girlfriend, Riley (Bridgette Lundy-Paine) take the trip to the family estate in a secluded, foresty part of the country. However, right away, anyone can tell that Ed is not a native English speaker, which is fine, but then don’t have the story be that he was raised in America since he was a baby. Cotta plays his twin brother, Manuel, who has long hair and was raised in Portugal with their mother, Amelia (Anabela Moreira). Amelia, layered and carved with plastic surgery, is a site to behold. From here on, all of the action takes place at the gothicky house — of course, two locals at a roadside stand scare off the couple and warn them about going to the house; the couple does not listen. Amelia’s Children is better than expected, with some freaky (if not superfluous) horror elements and a disturbing story — it also includes a sex scene no one was asking for. There is some truly atrocious dialogue and the plot unfortunately turns from a horror-thriller to a classic slasher. The “reveal” was meh and the ending is sure to polarize. With a few changes — like just casting a different actor for Ed and not having them be twins, but mere brothers — this could’ve been a much better movie. Amelia’s Children is sure to please horror aficionados and ironic viewers, but probably not the general public.

I was left with lots of questions and plot holes. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 08/27/2024 Weird creepy in not the best of ways. See more Read all reviews
