tonight's feature: Gwen (2018) on Shudder
Gwen is a British period folk horror drama and about as depressing and bleak as a film can get. Gwen and her sister Mary live with their mother in the greyest and foggiest corner of North Wales. Dad is gone, neighbors die of cholera, Mom gets sick, animals start getting murdered, the quarry people want to take the farm away, etc etc, and that's the good news. The bad news is things are going to get worse for Gwen and little Mary. I'm not sure I really appreciated this movie, although I'm generally a sucker for period pieces. More or less borderline horror with a slew of incredibly unfortunate dramatic events that leaves you feeling like complete shit before the bitter end. Then you're glad it's over with. Anyway, fairly well done for a grim atmospheric period piece. 6 rats in your hen house out of 10.
