Wonderful Movie
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Yeah, some of the acting in this film is certainly not going to win any awards, but it's really not that bad at all. I've seen much worse from A list actors (I'm looking at you everyone in Killing of a Sacred Deer). And honestly, for an indie movie, it's easily on par with many I've seen. Visually the film is very good. There are some nice shots, solid practical effects, and good locations. The story isn't revolutionary but I did appreciate the few twists, even though the ending left a little to be desired. Overall I've seen much worse and this one is worth a watch for horror junkies.
Gloria (Nina Kiri) was kidnapped by heretics who wanted to bring back their god Abaddon, a Hebrew demon during the Chinese Lotus Moon...It's all good. Now she is in group with her outspoken friend Joan (Jorja Cadence). It isn't long before she is kidnapped by a member of the group which gives us a long sequence of plot twists. Not the worst Hebrew demon, Chinese moon out there, but it had a lack of characters and those that it had lacked charisma and decent lines. Might work as the extra Redbox half-price rental. Guide: F-word. Sex. Partial nudity
I watched this movie by accident - falling hook line and sinker for the media's BS claims (probably) that "Hereditary" (a completely different movie) is the scariest movie of the year.I honestly think there is not one redeeming thing to taken away from this 87 minute opus to bad acting, bad story and the "I've seen it all before" school of storytelling - it felt like well over 3 hours! Nina Kiri is very attractive though, well at least at the start and she goes quickly downhill from there - she's the only reason the movie gets two stars - really, don't waste your time.
I feel like i just witnessed a new low in acting skills. I don't think any of them is credible. I'm not sure what to think about the story. It has potential, but the actors do not convince me in this movie.
