Juan Carlos T Speechless… One of the best “horror” films I’ve ever seen. Throughout the story, you get that lingering feeling that the fear doesn’t come from something exactly tangible, but from a carefully crafted atmosphere. The plot twist and the way everything comes together at the end are simply magnificent. If I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be “immersive.” Every detail is perfectly polished: from the red door with the buckle, to the costumes and each accessory. On the other hand, the soundtrack adds an extra layer that keeps you hooked every minute. I was fascinated by the outstanding work of Die Hexen, who avoided the typical use of violins or other classic instruments of the genre, replacing them with sounds deeply characteristic of the region. Without a doubt, an excellent film Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Hugo S An eldercare worker is sent to a remote village to look after a paranoid woman who claims to have been abducted and punished by otherworldly entities. Tormented by the recent death of her estranged mother, the careworker develops a strange bond with the elderly woman. "Fréwaka" is a folk-horror movie that draws inspiration from Irish mythology. The supernatural is used as a metaphor for the generational trauma and mental illness of two characters haunted by their traumatic past. The narrative offers an atmospheric experience in the context of a rural setting rooted in old superstitions. However, these folklore themes have become overexploited in recent years, with many other films offering a similar story.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Steven t Very good Irish folktale/horror. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review Jon R I wasn’t particularly hooked while I was watching it but after the movie finished I found myself thinking about the film a little more and what It was all about. Interesting ending, I’d recommend to anyone who typically enjoys A24 style film Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
