Horror about demonic possessions treated in a different way compared to Conjuring. The film immediately impresses with excellent attention to staging and photography, the film knows how to be raw and dirty and at the same time knows how to give excellent paintings both day and night. night, excellent chiaroscuro, cuts of light and very interesting shots on the fences, window grates, characters framed by the windows which give a sense of imprisonment almost of inexorability of the events for the protagonist characters trapped in the dark story. Excellent the games of color with reds and greens, blood and mystery, always very present, it is no coincidence that the boy first has an ice cream (with black cherry?) but still red and only later will he have the apple one (green). It is a film about perpetual violence, the wicked actions of the protagonists cause possession to spread, it is no coincidence that the killings cause the spread of the demonic entity, violence always causes violence in a continuous vortex. The whole story is very sinister also because the characters immediately believe in possession, the village in fact has its own folklore. The direction is very direct, as written we are not in the area of Wan who creates and extends waiting times through mechanisms, here there is a lot of hand-held camerawork, small-shot sequences that give action, continuous movements in excited situations, the sequence of the dog and the subsequent reaction of the protagonist. While in the more "calm" situations the direction demonstrates its ability to create excellent suggestive shots. There is a lot of gore and violence shown in a film that never seems pompous. In following the events of the two brothers, the character of Pedro is the undisputed protagonist, the character of Jaime, at times, is left a little behind and in the ending perhaps even more could have been given prominence to certain situations, even if, as written, the direction is very appreciable also because it does not Read all
