The Blogging Banshee

The Heretics is a film with the makings of a great plot that just wasn't executed as well as it could have been.

Rated: 5/10

Cultured Vultures

Atmospherics and jump-scares work here effectually. The use of light, tenebrous as it is, is also adept.

No importa tanto el presupuesto ni si tenes actores famosos en pantalla, si contas una historia con una premisa interesante, buen ritmo y un final decente la película funciona siempre, ese es el caso de The Heretics. Sacando algún cliché es concreta y no plantea mas de lo que puede. Grata sorpresa.

Years after being kidnapped by a cult, a young woman is kidnapped again. But this time it's a single man who says he is protecting her from the same cult. Dialogue issues aside, this is a well done little horror flick. Kiri gives a great performance but I can't spoil why. And I loved the design of the wooden masks the cultists wear. Skilled usage of light.

It's an interesting premise, and has an awesome conclusion, but it's soo ugly throughout, and felt a little cliché in parts. There's some interesting twists along the way.

This film I thought very good, not often it happens but it left me very disturbed for quite a while, that hadn't happened since the scene in wolf creek where they woke up as prisoners after the evening round the camp fire with 'Mick'

Pretty good. You could see where it was going early on and I hated the ending. Very predictable. Could you be more cliche by trying to not be cliche? However, despite being able to.call out everyrhing that was going to.happen next it built tension well and I thougjt the pacing was fine. Some ber bad "what the hell are you thinking moments." But suspend disbelief enough and you will be ok.
