I was prepared not to like it, what a surprise!
I don’t often review films. Frankly, with the advent of “quantity over quality” which has taken place with free streaming on major providers, I find that movies of the horror and/or psychological thriller seem to be just recycling the same themes and storylines over and and over again, with cheaper and cheaper production budgets. I just find that it’s much harder to suspend my disbelief these days – and maybe that’s because I’ve seen so many horror films/thrillers at this point.Let me tell you, don’t be thrown off by the fact that this is a foreign film and contains subtitles. IT IS TERRIFYING. The characters are easy to identify with, as is the storyline. For those who enjoy the outdoors, they can relate. And for those who do not, well, this movie will only drive them further away from the woods!
I just have to say that this film was jarring. The twists, the turns, none of them were typical of the genre, and the writers were/are brilliant. The acting was top notch, and the filming was wonderful. The scenes were cut perfectly for the style and fit the scenery and context well. I literally couldn’t stop watching, the film kept me on the edge of my seat. OH, and I tried to eat dinner during it. Don’t do that!
nice effects but predictable and low on ‘neder’horror
The Netherlands always had a thing for horror, a few classics came out of that country, the best known one must be De Lift (1983). From that moment the name Nederhorror came to life.De Poel is classified under Nederhorror due Jan Doense being involved. He’s known as Mr Horror in the Dutch era so this flick did had an easy promotion and distribution. But to be concrete , was it all worth watching. Well if you think you will see a gory flick or a slasher then skip this flick. If you do like ghost stories and people going berserk by dreams they have then this is your stuff.
I must say that I do had mixed emotions about it. The positive thing is that the acting was above mediocre but the story did lack suspense. Don’t get me wrong, there are things going on but after a while it’s a bit predictable. After eating the fish things go rather wrong at the camping era and from there you can say, well, this and that is going to happen. The last 7 minutes do offer a bit of slasher horror with one nice killing, but i won’t spoil it over here. Even clocking in at 76 minutes it’s a rather short flick but it was enough due the predictable parts. Even the ending wasn’t a surprise.
But the way it was shot and the effects used did upgrade this flick a lot and for some the score used will do the scary part I guess. Nederhorror? Just on the edge.
