Review of Censor

Censor (2021)
7/10
If you have a keen eye for cinematography and enjoy slow burn horrors then ignore the low reviews and give this one a shot
25 October 2021
I'll admit I went into this film with no expectations, yet found myself captivated by Niamh Algar's performance and the general concept of the film. If you're not a fan of ambiguity in films or artistic and expressive camerawork then you'll probably be joining the people who have been giving this 3/10 reviews. That said, if you stick with the slow burn you'll appreciate the looming feeling of dread and discomfort as the film progresses, even if you can already predict the outcome. The important part is how these revelations are presented, which I think deserves a lot more credit than the film has received so far. Finally, it would be misleading if I told you that this is some kind of modern masterpiece as it isn't without its drawbacks. There are some cliche moments with certain character interactions and the elements of mystery that had helped keep my interest just seemingly fizzle out just before the film's climax. Overall, though, it's a decent concept which has been executed well. As the title to this review says, give Censor a shot if you enjoy horror films which focus more on the presentation and talent rather than scares and gore.
