Pretty Good
Brilliant and touching
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Really enjoyed this movie, saw it at the International Film Festival in New Zealand. Having grown up in Austria, I knew the first fairytale about "Die Trud" and the Bavarian one was also very familiar. The 8 tales moved around the world and were very different, but all beautifully shot. The last, Hungarian one, played like an old silent movie was a bit more farcical but the others held genuine horror and dread.
Cute concept (world folklore anthology); well executed.This was much more subtle than a lot of mainstream horror which I think will subvert some watchers expectations, either positively or negatively.I found the opening short examining the socio-religious stigmas surrounding homosexuality to be artful and insightful with a positive empowering message that wasn't crass or overstated.At least one short examined elder care through the lens of witchcraft. The last short was a delightful dark comedy--Grimm meets Aesop.It was cool to see something new in horror under the guise of being old.
I heard a lot about this from friends, but after seeing it very dissapointed. The whole thing was pretty bad.
Good movie south by southwest, interesting concenpt bringing shorts together. Worked really well
