Rather silly with a not very scary monster and an overlong finale. Some campy fun to be had however.
The one skull is because this is so awful it inspired Clive Barker to adapt The Hellhound Heart and direct Hellraiser himself on the logic that he couldn’t possibly fuck up his own work worse than this.
I love 80s films, I love bad campy horror's too just can’t get through this, I’ve tried a couple of times and always wanted to see it from the cool poster that used to be in comic books back in the day. It’s just so bad, the acting, the shot composition, the monster costume. When you first see it no it attacks the couple in the farm, it’s broad daylight, it shows just how shit he looks and the woman acting scared fleeing through her house was the final straw. The main character too, his acting makes me want to vomit. One day I’ll try again and maybe be in the right mood, who knows.
Great folk horror! Not sure why everyone's being so harsh in their reviews, I really enjoyed the story, the goddess pagan aspect, and the cinematography was beautiful. Sure, it's a bit campy and the ending is cliche af and a little cheap but overall it was great for what it was! Would watch again. 4/5 story and setting, 2.4/5 for character depth, 4/5 for enjoyability!
