User Reviews

Jewish Wedding

This is surprisingly funny for a scary movie. But don't be fooled by the comedy or the lack of color. It is scary and it will take you on a wild ride. If you are into it, and if you want to see what "legend" exists for Jews. It's the Dybbuk (if I wrote that correctly that is) and it is a very mad and bad entity.

And it happens on one of the happiest day of ones life. Or it should be. But the movie plays with many things, expectations and while in other instances it just doesn't fit, they made it work in this case. It takes a spin on something you have seen a couple of times and makes it feel fresh and inspired. And for that, I love this little independent horror movie, that does not have explicit scenes as a stronghold, but rather strong characters and an interesting story
