FOOLS AND BEASTS
30 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Lara (Eleanor Tomlinson) and her father Dr. Hill (Stephen Rea) explore the castle of Styria before it is demolished. Dr. Hill has discovered a foundation that he claims is pre-Roman, but the plot never develops beyond that. Lara is shrouded in mystery as she draws dark figures in her book. The town and castle have their own secrets and when Lar meets/saves Carmilla (Julia Pietrucha) the mystery deepens and the film becomes more weird. About half way through, we get a pretty good idea what is happening, at least the genre of the film.

The problem with the film is that it spends a lot of time attempting to stay shrouded in mystery that it hampers the plot. If you are still trying to figure things out after an hour with a low action film, it gets boring. Sometimes I felt like I was watching a 70's Italian horror film. I am sure the film has a niche. I am not part of it.

Guide: No swearing. No sex. No real nudity. Implied nudity in the dark and at a distant.
