Mark of the Devil (2020), directed by Diego Cohen.
I haven't seen a "possession" horror movie for quite a long time so I decided to refresh my memory. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece but I'm still disappointed. Such a waste of time. It was boring and full of poor special effects. The plot makes no sense as well. I feel as if someone wanted too much at once and it simply doesn't gel. At least, there are some nice Mexican landscapes shown with a drone. |

This was the last horror film I watched.
This Ari Aster fella - (his first film was Hereditary) ... has an incredible grasp of the slow burn .. and the morbidly creepy. He takes his time, does what few horror film makers do - develops his characters as people rather than simple chainsaw fodder. He builds a sense of dread masterfully ... not with cheap jump out scares but by tapping into our brains finding fears we didn't even know we had. Both of his films (so far) are the only horror flicks that left me feeling uncomfortably uneasy, but also exhilarated with the respect for a well made movie - something that's incredibly rare in the genre. probably not for everyone...especially for those fans of the genre that measure the worth of a horror film by a slasher's teen body count.

there definitely is some pretty shocking gore .. but that isn't the centre of the horror .. it enhances the horror.
hard to explain i guess. it's not slasher 'lets see how crazy each kill can be' kind of gore.... but it's pretty intense in one particular part
