Tyler B After awhile you just begin to wonder where its going. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review ELB S This is not a horror film, even though it is streaming on Shudder currently. It is, however, a powerful and deftly-made film about the horrors that happen when privilege and power go unchecked, and outer appearances matter more than inner motives or actions. One can look at this as a blistering indictment of the Catholic church's multiple levels of abuse, from colonial attitudes blindly tearing indigenous villages, lives and families apart to those church leaders in power wielding it to harm members of its own 'flock' and then cavalierly brushing any evidence under the carpet. It also serves as a chilling portrayal of what happens when kids are left to their own devices with no actual social guidance. There more than a little Lord of the Flies going on here. This is a difficult watch, but one that is important, and all-too-real with the many abuses we've found out about the Catholic church (and the Southern Baptists for that matter.) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review PinkyFucking S *Spoilers ahead*. Overall a good film, great direction, cinematography, acting. It gets to be a little Lord of the Flies toward the end. The obvious brainwashing and religious indoctrination is appalling. Certain boys are treated terribly, especially amongst themselves. Most of the adults are manipulative, physically and emotionally abusive and commit grooming. It's indeed a wonderful critique on wealthy society and their privileged children. My one beef with this film, is why, just why, would you take an innocent, already mangled, mentally and emotionally damaged little boy and subject him to rape & murder? There was zero reason for that boy to go thru what he did, I don't see how it contributed to the script. Other than to shake the boys up to also murder a child. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Brian S The weirdness is the only thing this movie has going for it but, I mostly feel unsatisfied. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/23 Full Review james n It helps to read the reviews before watching the movie, as it seems disjointed to me and how the different concepts and characters flow or don't flow together!? I really don't understand why the boy that has been in an accident (on a crutch) is involved with this story and why one of the older male protagonist seems to kill him in the end? You're not really sure? Especially when the monstrous peasant cuts off the boys cast and the boy seems ok? And the peasant girl that the boys may have raped then put a bucket over her head and workers come the next day. Do they find her? Is she dead? Do they fill in the hole with her in it these are very perplexing to me and the villagers must be Involved with this school for decades and generations so once a year they get donations so they allow this to happen. I understand that concept. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review meyer420 b I am the main provider of marijuana strains and all other products.
