This was just...bad

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2019)

I love horror. I love disturbing. I love indie film.
This was all of those things, and not really anything more. It was disturbing and gross without any point, it did not need to be over 2 hours, it did not need the mating ritual to take 15 min, it did not need to have dead bodies all over the place, it did not need to show the smashing of the head with a sledgehammer or the smattering of blood after the apparent suicide. The same effect would have been created by the suicide itself, alluding to the fact the the mating was happening, implying the bodies were around(the foot was a nice touch, up out of the garden). That would have added to the horror, the mystery and the feel.
I understand the appeal, a light colored movie with a dark theme, a time when light is most apparent leading to the most dark, the fact Americans impose their own values everywhere they go, without seeking to really understand and they therefore miss out. Its a good start, a good idea, with absolutely no follow through.
I left feeling angry, disgusted and disappointed in a movie I had looked forward to for some time.
So many good movies out there, spend your time on something else.
