tonight's feature: Moloch (2022) on Shudder
Moloch is pretty close to a perfect Halloween season horror flick. A little mystery, a bit of folklore, some freaky family curse, an ancient evil diety, the haunted whispers of spirits and enough intrigue to carry you through to the big reveal. It feels like Shudder really goes for the newer foreign horror films and it pays off big time for them. That or I just love reading captions.
Set in the Netherlands at the edge of a peat bog, Betriek and her family are attacked by a stranger one night. The more she investigates, the more she realizes things are NOT WHAT THEY SEEM. There are researchers digging in the bog and finding well preserved women, all with their throats slit. The local bag man dies digging a hole. Grandpa misses grandaughter's play. Grandma is having weird seizures. A researcher pukes outside of a bar. What does all of that have to do with these attacks and the scary old local legend of Feike? Well you'll have to watch to find out. I can't ruin it. 8.5 packets of sugar out of 10.
