Featured review
Very cool (underdeveloped) world wide concept
Overall I think this was a great idea but was not executed to its full potential. Each story in this folk horror anthology had positives and negatives, but I don't think not one of them had the whole package, which I would expect from at least a few of them (if any I would say 5 and 8)
1. Beautiful with seemingly good acting. Monster looked silly and story over all unfulfilling and confusing
2. Not bad, decent story and a bit spookier but the girls whimpering became irksome.
3. Loved the look of this one and the story was intriguing but once again the ending was confusing and unfulfilling.
4. This is the first one that was just bad. I was beginning to become tired of the lack of dialogue, but once I got to this one I ate my words. The dialogue was awful, story was silly and the performances were stilted.
5. This one was probably the best. Makeup and special effects were super cool and the story was spooky and intriguing.
6. The acting and execution on this one were not really up to par but it was one of the more interesting stories.
7. This one looked beautiful and was weird and spooky but the ending left me at meh.
8. Quite liked the style of this one. Added nice variety and felt quite original with a Tim Burton flare.
I feel like for most this would probably land at a 4 but because I love the concept, am partial to folk horror, appreciated the positives and also have a love for and am forgiving with indi cinema I feel a 5 is appropriate. This is certainly not going to be for everyone. Many people will watch this and slowly become more and more annoyed with the underdeveloped stories. However if you take into account budget, time/length, and the giant scale this project took on across the world... it's pretty cool. I would recommend, but to someone who loves folk tales and has patience lol.
