Review of A Dark Song

A Dark Song (2016)
7/10
Excellent! The best horror since "It Follows"
1 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Perhaps it isn't fair to call this a horror movie since there is little horror. It is more an occult movie and one of, if not the best, I've ever seen.

To many horror fans it will seem extremely slow and lacking in gore, but the slow build of tension and suspense is really unique and the music adds to that, powerfully. I haven't looked yet at who scored the movie but it is masterful.

Spoiler below:

And the climactic scene was handled as well as anyone could handle a meeting with -- what -- god, or an angel.

End spoiler.

This one will last in my memory for a long time and I'll be rewatching it. I think it will be even more enjoyable when I already know where it is going.
