A writer, a murder and a witch.
The lead in this film may well get a trophy for the most unpleasant protagonist of recent rememberance he is horrible to everyone around him, and is only nice to the young bartender as he wants her.
After she dies and the witch stuff starts to happen you don’t really believe that he cares about her enough to investigate her death or do any of that.
There is some great horror visuals within this section and it is nice to see it lean into Irish mythology however it doesn’t go far enough you get just a little bit and then it ends, it’s very disappointing in that regard.
Overall, an oddly stunted horror film that has some good ideas but doesn’t go far enough to make them meaningful.
2/5.
Pros.
A few good scares
The Irish mythology
Cons.
The lead is just awful
There is filler in it
The ending doesn’t feel like food closure
