Review of Older Gods

Older Gods (2023)
3/10
ONLY if you like Lovecraftian horror, otherwise a waste of time
19 September 2023
I like pretty much all horror, and am able to give the lower budget films kudos where appropriate, but this one is stretching it. A goods script should be able to entice the viewer to get into the movie, even if the topic is not a favorite sub-genre. This one failed.

The acting was acceptable, sort of. What really gets you is the rest of the components to a good movie. The script was not ready for prime, should have spent more time there.

And the cinematography needed a lot of help. Yeah, I know, there are people out there saying the 'moody' shots are supposed to be like that, but not the rest of the movie! In fact better cinematography during the early parts of the movie can bring up the later parts where 'less than perfect' screening help set the mood. As it stands, it was closer to something I would see from high schoolers.
