tonight's feature: Entwined (2020) on Shudder
Entwined is another one of those movies where reviewers think they could have written it better. It's predictable, they say. There's no real surprise or suspense, they go on. It's sluggish and lacking. While they're not exactly wrong, I thought the film was well done, thought provoking and very, very weird, which makes it right up my alley.
It might not be fair to call it horror, but this dark fantasy tale is more suffocating than terrifying. We see a young Greek doctor move his practice to a small Greek town after his dad dies. He encounters a strange, young and beautiful Greek girl in the woods with her father and wants to help her. The townsfolk warn him not to get involved but of course he does it anyway. Pretty soon his entire life is ENTWINED with this mystery girl and the forest, but not in a good way.
I didn't read the reviews before watching it and that probably was for the best. I still thought Entwined was a decent little Halloween season watch and a break from the regular slashers, biters and spookers. 8 more logs on the fire out of 10.
