When Lily loses her sister due to a car accident, she seeks solace from a local spiritualist. Unfortunately, Lily gets more than she bargained for when the restless spirit of a murder victim "latches" onto her and starts to show herself more and more. Realising that the spirit is actually trying to show her the path to who killed her, Lily becomes involved in a shocking mystery that will lead her face to face with a brutal serial killer who seems to like making puppets of his victims.
After watching Casadega, I so wanted to like it and give a pretty good rating, but unfortunately I can't because, well, it's just a pretty boring movie really and I'm being generous enough with my 3-star rating.
It doesn't grip you; it doesn't really scare you; and it doesn't have that much of a riveting story. Don't get me wrong - there are a few good moments in the movie but these are ultimately very few and far between.
I sometimes look forward to a low-budget movie like this as they can sometimes be better than some of the usual predictable Hollywood serial killer movies. Unfortunately, this is no better THAN the usual predictable Hollywood horror/serial killer movies.
The killer's setting was a bit too Hostel-like with the workshop, his overall's and mask, which I didn't really mind, but the menacing effect this look had in Hostel gets lost with him wearing his little pink dress underneath the overalls.
Also the deaf character of Lily done a fantastic job of knowing what some people were saying to her, even when she wasn't even looking at them or their lips.
All in all, Casadega is a very mediocre serial killer horror and I guess as long as you go into it not expecting much then you should be fine. Just don't be surprised if you feel a bit bored when watching it.
