Similarites to Whicker Man, Pretty Damn Horrific, Not For The Squeemish

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2019)

To say i did not enjoy watching this is an understatement. This is one of those movies that you wish was never made and whatever Ari Aster the director was thinking of, was beyond me as i really enjoyed Ari's previous horror effort 2018's terrifying Hereditary. My thinking at the start of the film was a wonderful group of young people going to enjoy an outdoor festival in the middle of the summer in a beautiful location only to find things weren't quite as they thought they were going to be. This is the case with this film but instead we are quickly introduced to some elders whose lives never pass their early 70s, then wonder what on earth for and what happens to them? Soon we find out and the results are pretty damn horrific and not for the squeemish. After stomaching that, we are then held on tender hooks as to what is going to happen to our American friends in the movie and as the film moves on in all it's dreary tedious progression, i really wanted out of the cinema. To cap it all we are shown a mysterious pyramid shape building which no one is allowed to enter and by the end of the film we are shown why. There are so many similarities to The Whicker Man and this becomes apparent when you realize the direction of the movie in all it's bad taste which had me revolted. This is not one film to enjoy and upon the closing credits it was a relief to exit the cinema.
