A Classic Horror Story

An excellent little gem filled with so many "classic horror movie" tropes. This movie pokes fun at itself and others (even Netflix). It was a refreshing little mindf@#$.

Horror movie about a cult set in a forest? Sign me up!!! Didn’t see that twist coming, but I enjoyed it a lot.

I really liked the plot and the characters. However, for those who are not fluent in Italian, listen to it in original Italian with English closed captioning because the English Dub is kind of annoying and makes the movie experience worse.

[Netflix] "Your movie sucks. It is a rip-off of so many others", says one of the characters. It's the revelation of an intelligent exercise of metacinema that is revealed as an ironic reflection (the use of cliché, the mafia) on the representation of violence in our society (the diatribe against Italian cinema). A self aware movie that places us in front of and behind the screen. And so, satire works better than horror.

I just have four words about this movie:

Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz ❤

"It's me Fabrizio..." 😭

Visually stunning! Gorgeously composed scenes. Colors in every frame are so beautiful.

Like doggy bag spaghetti, there's nothing new but it doesn't have to be fresh to be good.

This is what happens when you take a _U Turn_ to _Midsommar_ and,while it goes off the rail in the third act, there's still enough blood to get us across the finish line with a smile.

The film is all a satire that _"throws a stone into the pond"_ to annoy other Horror movies, because apparently, Italians (but also viewers in general) don't like anything with this movie genre and we always have something to say about it, and it's true, that's how we are, and on the one hand it's good because we always manage to get closer - but never quite - to perfection thanks to criticism and past horror flops, and moreover I think that the horror genre is the most criticised of all, not because it sucks but because the fanbase of this genre is the most passionate. Some people hated horror and now they're **forced** to watch it just because it gained so much traction in the last years and with so many subgenres, there's something for everyone so I understand if they start to like it.

However, this movie had great potential, visually and auditorily, it's not bad, I remember some very captivating scenes like the one when they are in the house and all of a sudden this intense red comes out with the sound of the alarm in the background; or the green nocturnal setting of the camper area embraced by the darkness towards the forest, it's **scary**.. but I still agree with some reviewers that they wrote this plot just to gain more positive feedback.
