- Marcelo Scatena23. září 2025An interesting way to talk about loss, but it falls short doing something to hook you.
- jackmeat18. října 2024My quick rating - 4.9/10. We got an interesting mix of family drama and creature folk horror here, but unfortunately doesn't stick the landing. Side note: Does just showing a forest now make movies automatically "folk horror" LOL? The story follows a boy and his alcoholic stepmother as they grapple with grief, only to be terrorized by a shape-shifting creature that resembles the boy’s deceased father. This premise sets the stage for an eerie and unsettling atmosphere, but writer/director Benjamin Barfoot seems to get lost in the storytelling, ultimately leaving you a bit unsatisfied. A significant portion of the film focuses on the strained relationship between the stepmother, played by Julia Brown, and her stepson. Their dysfunctional dynamic takes up as much space as the lurking monster in the woods, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The film attempts to explore grief, loss, and unhealthy coping mechanisms, with Brown doing a serviceable job in portraying her flawed character. That said, her character's parenting decisions are questionable at best—using home videos of the dead father to bond with the grieving child while drowning her own sorrows in alcohol. It felt like Barfoot might be drawing from personal experience, but the execution comes across as more uncomfortable than poignant. The creature design is effectively creepy, and there are a few well-timed scares that inject some much-needed tension into the film. The setup is good, with the eerie atmosphere slowly building to what should have been a nail-biting confrontation. However, just when things seem to be getting interesting, the movie abruptly deflates with a rushed and unsatisfying ending. It felt like Barfoot had no clear idea how to wrap up the story, leaving the tension and stakes that had been built up over the previous 90 minutes or so to fizzle out in disappointment. Ultimately, the film falls into the trap of being ambiguous for the sake of ambiguity, which only makes it feel unfinished rather than profound. While there are flashes of effective horror and character drama, it struggles to find a balance between the two. A stronger resolution could have made this a much more memorable film, but as it stands, it’s another middling horror that fails to deliver on its potential. #jackmeatsflix
- Spanktacular2. srpna 2025We have Babadook at home. Decent creature horror, terrible name.
- Descendant+X15. května 2025This one was a real piece of shit. Not scary, unnecessary time-filling bookend scenes, and about 15 minutes of useless time-filling b-roll shots. At least the actors did a relatively good job with the garbage they were given to work with.
- GnomeSlice26. července 2025A sweet surprise. Strong acting (including the kid), freaky scenes, and a really great set piece in the woods. Goofy name, great film.
- Josh C11. října 2024Bland and s-l-o-w. Makes zero sense. Skip it.
