Stephen A Winterskin" Serves Up Electrifying Horror Thanks to Rowena Bentley's Bone-Chilling Performance! "Winterskin," the 2018 psychological horror film, is a rollercoaster of delicious thrills and chills that'll entrust you cling tenaciously to your popcorn and sleep with the lights on! While the movie typically has its highs and lows, there's one shining star that undoubtedly keeps it afloat - Rowena Bentley, who portrayed "Mother" Agnes with an electrifying performance that's the stuff of nightmares. Bentley's brilliant portrayal of Mother Agnes is a masterclass in horror acting: Her notable vigour and zeal ooze from the screen, making her principal character a truly bone-chilling presence. With every sinister whisper and devilish glare, Bentley delivers an outstanding performance that's nothing short of mesmerizing. She's the wickedly delicious icing on this horror cake. Regrettably, the same can't be said for the rest of the cast: They range from average to dire, especially the ill-fated rescuers who stumble upon Mother Agnes' eerie abode. It's as if they wandered onto the set from a beginner's acting workshop, naturally making you question their logical choices more than their safety. The fascinating story itself is decent, but there are some glaring errors of creative storytelling that will cause you to scratch your head. When the rescuers cautiously enter the seemingly abandoned property to liberate young Billy, they somehow deem it uninhabited despite glaring clues like a burning fire, a meal cooking, and lanterns aglow. It's almost as if they'd never read the script! Director Charlie Steeds shines with his creative direction, even if the writing falls a tad flat. His effective use of close-up camera work, steady shots, and dramatic angles add a distinct layer of intrigue to the film. It's like watching a macabre ballet of terror unfold before your eyes. Ultimately, "Winterskin" is a mixed bag of horror, but it's worth a watch if only to witness Rowena Bentley's chilling brilliance and Charlie Steeds' directorial finesse. Therefore, grab your popcorn, turn down the lights, and prepare to be both terrified and unintentionally amused in this horror rollercoaster. One viewing is worth the shivers and unintended giggles.
