Daniel M Genuinely one of the most ridiculous horror movies I’ve ever watched. It isn’t scary, it isn’t even creepy—it’s just recycled cheap nonsense in a different language and setting than you’re used to. This film is a two-hour loop between seeming like it’s about to go somewhere and being let down when it never does. Nothing makes sense, and the fake documentary setup is excruciating to watch. It’s like they packed every little idea they had into the storyboard with no rhyme or reason until they ran out of ideas, as it’s chock full of random interactions and scenes that are completely unrelated to the plot and are never tied-in or explained. The second half is basically another one of those boring knockoff exorcism movies where the demon never actually leaves the person (even though everyone vomits black for seemingly no reason). It relies heavily on cheap jump scares, bad actors attempting to contort and look scary, completely unrealistic ‘analogue’ screen effects, and has characters randomly screaming and running at the cameraman. Then it eventually just devolves into some kind of… zombie movie…? No film with this little substance should be allotted a two hour runtime. The *only* redeemable thing is the actress who plays the mother. Not her character—the actual actress. She is phenomenal and delivers believable and extremely versatile acting throughout. Quite literally everything and everyone else sucks. I want my two hours back.

Malignant spirits gathering becomes a zombie fest? Awkward cameraman steadfastly filming until they get attacked? Their brains deserve to be eaten. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Scott M Fantastic, truly frightening horror movie. It's very much a slow burn, but once it gets going, it blazes white-hot. The central mystery and plot are excellent, and the acting is very compelling and convincing. There were even a few scenes that were so thoroughly creepy that I found myself looking over my shoulder the rest of the night. Not many horror films can do that to me these days. Highly recommended! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Hei Det E Masterfully crafted. Ominous. Sinister. Well worth the two hour watch. Absolutely beautifully done movie. Check this one out! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Ricardo d Existe uma beleza no filme se formos considerar sua cultura, as locações e algumas tomadas artísticas. Temos uma boa interpretação das personagens principais. Mas a edição quase inexistente seguida de um roteiro fraco e com falhas não dá credibilidade ao projeto. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Kevin T A great folk horror film with good atmospheric dread and scares. A slow build that escalates to a climactic finish.
