Could have been so much better with its great premise
The film is an underwhelming, underachieved Portuguese horror film about (without giving away spoilers) two people who meet each other at a popular suicide spot after going there on the decision to commit suicide. I really wanted to give this film a higher rating because it (again, without giving away spoilers) had a great idea but it was just clumsily done falling into cliché horror tropes that really didn’t serve it any good. It feels like exposition that initially has good premise but just can’t argue to save itself. The black and white cinematography serves the polar motives and overall mood nicely with emptiness and shallowness but the film disappointingly fell apart when it could have taken a great idea so much further with greater meaning and better execution.
A fantastic, horrific, slow burn drama that delivers
If you are looking for a fast paced gore fest…don’t watch this one. Just move along. Nothing for you to see here. :::grin::: This film takes it’s time to tell a story and gives you visually stunning images to go along with it’s deep, philosophical discussions as things build and build.This is the first feature film for writer/director José Pedro Lopes and it’s a fantastic effort bringing in three awards to date from the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, Fant, Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival, and Triple Six Horror Film Festival and the awards are well deserved.
It tells it’s story and lets you figure things out. And, it gives you everything you need to do so.
As I said, the film is shot beautifully. The black and white is perfect for the subject matter. It plays off like a modern day Bergman film – moody and dark and full of things lurking in the corners. There’s a richness to the visuals that I found to be very pleasing. The cinematography was stunning.
The film is a foreign language film…unless you’re from Portugal, of course. However, the film isn’t heavy on dialogue, so those who fear subtitles need not be too scared. It’s a drama with horrific moments that hits every point it makes an effort to hit. The acting is fantastic and all the characters seem real and well rounded.
I highly recommend this…I’m going to say it again… “thinking person’s horror film”. I believe film lovers, horror lovers, and mystery lovers will enjoy this immensely. Well worth a viddy!
