Penumbra (2012)QuickRating: Probably the most accurate way to best describe this otherwise well-crafted Argentinian occult horror is "Funny Games" meets "The House of the Devil", but not necessarily in a good way, as Boglianos' "Penumbra" is neither as realistically disturbing as the first, nor as shockingly terrifying as the latter. It is just a talky slow-burner that wastes to much time on building 'tension', and than throws a twisty climax that doesn't really work.
I LOVED House of the Devil. Should I give this one a shot since it's smack in the middle of your ratings system? Or should I just forget about it?
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend, sweetie. I'm going to be sending you an email soon as it has been too long since we "talked" like that. :)
Sweetheart, I did too. In fact, THOTD is one of my favorite post 2000 horror flicks.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you to skip this one and check out the awesome "Babysitter Wanted" instead. It's extremely similar and almost as good as THOTD.
Yeah, it's been a while, and I feel guilty for not writing you emails anymore. I'm looking forward to your email, so bring it on. :)
