Hokum
This movie deserves a good rating. Viewers may have expected a scary movie revolving an ever-present supernatural evil. It's not that kind of a movie - even though we do get a teaser. There's no early reveal of some monster. The approach here is more mature.
This film is about waiting for the supernatural payload in the end, whilst being immersed in an immediate and more earthly problem. At the same time, you know you'll "get there" so you'll be at the edge of your seat waiting for it. I guarantee you, the payload will be delivered.
So there's no teens running around, no screaming music, no evil chasing ya. No nudity. No wokism. You will be introduced to the Gaelic folklore world, but you have to be willing to sit and listen. And then the movie takes off.
I know, it's not for everybody. But my intent was to manage expectations. For the viewers who don't mind a calmer setting, this is it, with a real ending and a real movie to gaze at.

There’s a close up on the face of a statue that cracked me up more than most comedy movies can just kind of a master work of emotional tension in that moment. Scott is a decent ...

McCarthy is a frustrating film-maker. He clearly has the eye for haunting cinematography, good audio design but he lacks in character and story. Oddity was solid, but this felt ...
