HBO Europe falls flat
I was very disappointed by the recent HBO Europe release of the Czech horror Polednice (The Noonday Witch):HBO has produced some fine films, so I was excited to see this “Europa” HBO production. Alas, despite having the budget to hire some good actors, such as Anna Geislerová, Polednice falls flat.
The acting is quite good, and the cinematography is superb, but the screenplay, direction, and soundtrack make watching this film a lugubrious experience. I caught myself falling asleep on numerous occasions. Put simply, it’s boring. The “Hallmark card” soundtrack, in which sickening strings remind of us when to recognize the “poignant” moments, is irritating and works against this film’s pretensions to be a horror movie. The execution of what sounds like an interesting story is uninteresting, and the direction lacks energy. I lacked energy after forcing myself to finish watching this film.
5/10, at best.
Excellent tale well acted and scripted
A mother and daughter move to the childhood village of her dead husband. What follows is an intelligent portrayal of how the mother and daughter cope with the loss. This is set against the backdrop of a tale of supernatural stealing of children. The characterisation is strong and script well written. This is not a gore fest. It has subtitles. If this sort of film is something you just don’t get, fair enough, but please don’t post poor reviews that might put off us grownups.
