I read this theory that says that the whole movie takes place in Kate's head, like a re-imagining of something tragic that happened to her. Her tattoo is a snake eating itself, which is a symbolism of Kate's madness.
The article explains that Kate IS Ms Jessel (the former nanny). She worked at Bly Manor and was charged to raise Miles and Flora, but she was afraid of Quint who was a creepy pervert and one night, when she tried to escape, he sexually assaulted her. She fled the manor and abandoned the children, and she went insane because of the trauma and her regret over leaving the children. She was taken to an asylum, and the movie is Kate in her head living out the life that she should have had, the path that she should have taken in which she saved the children and escaped with them from the clutches of Quint.
There are a lot of things that prove that Kate is Ms Jessel. First, Kate always sees Ms Jessel through a reflective surface (window, mirror, etc...). In Kate's fantasy, things are perfect and Quint is dead, BUT, due to her subconscious, Quint keeps creeping in at several points as a ghost and through Miles who is actually a manifestation of Quint. Miles wears the same clothes as Quint and rides a black horse just like him. Besides, the first time Kate sees the ghost of Quint is when he is walking into Miles' bedroom. Miles also almost forces himself on Kate at one point and kisses her, which would be a symbolism of the sexual assault that Quint carried out on Jessel. At one point in the movie, Kate believes she is being attacked by the ghostly hands of Quint, which could be a flashback of her past sexual assault.
At the end of the movie, she returns to reality where she is back at the asylum, and when her mother or rather Kate turns around, she sees her own face, and this is why she screams.
Watching the trailer it seemed like a really interesting show. Unfortunately the show itself was not as good in the end. There's too many characters you have to keep track of and you constantly get confused who's who now as people look so alike sometimes. All the scandals, time travel and so on makes you dizzy. Some parts of the story seem really involving but then they kind of screw up and it's not as amazing anymore. Most annoying was the music… the same "thrilling" sound effect for every single scene… even if it's not even remotely thrilling…
A movie about some crazy women. Nothing interesting happens in the movie until the end, it's really stupid. Is this supposed to be like a horror movie? it seemed to me more like some kind of psychological drama, terrible stupidity. Several times during the movie I wanted to turn this crap off and walk away. It's been a long time since I've seen such horrible and boring crap. The only thing that was positive about the film were the acting performances, they weren't bad at all with a few exceptions, but that certainly doesn't save the film. I think the 2/10 rating is just right, and that's just for the acting, otherwise I wouldn't even give the 2 stars. This movie never again, just boring, boring and boring. Waste of time. Just like it's a waste of time to write such a comment on such a movie, which is not even worth it to me. They do not recommend.
Finally one of the normal objective documents so what is the actual fact. Not those nasty Western lying propaganda pieces.
The film is just disgusting propaganda, no objectivity, simply nothing. It's beautiful to see the journalist asking questions so that he gets the answers he wants. For those who want propaganda, so good, but if you want objectivity, you certainly won't find it in this documentary.
Really disappointing for me, it wasn't a bad movie, but I expected much more. In addition, some things like pulling a cord through a carpet were absolutely beyond physics.
This has nothing to do with horror at all, more like a fairy tale and a very lifeless one at that. I expected that it would not be very horror-like, but I did not expect that it would be this bad and lifeless.
How dare they market this as horror it doesn't have an ounce of it! Straight out drama with a grain of supernatural. It's well-acted and nicely filmed but ultimately a slow burn with no burn at all. It started pretty decent with the bonding of our two main characters but then it just went so flat and the ending was even worse... nothing happened. Also i'm officially fed up of Jaeden Martell's voice that voiceover was so annoying.
Mismarketed and terribly paced. This movie doesn't even know what it wants to be about. It has such an identity crisis that in the end you are left flabbergasted thinking, this is it? And the godawful voiceover was excruciating to sit through, explaining each detail like we are 5.
A very weak horror film about a mother who turns into her mother and treats her daughter worse and worse. Except for a few passages, the film did not excite me at all.
One of the best movies ever and in my opinion best horror movie.When i saw it as a kid i was scaried for weeks and it was the movie that scared me the most.Watching it again after all these years and still gave me chills. 10/10
Very good film with a great horror atmosphere. It's a pity that he was so weird end, otherwise great horror.
:heart: x6
An interesting movie for sure. Although it starts out as a bit of a romantic time-traveling movie it ends up anything but.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
The movie has a strong start and an even stronger finish, with a satisfying twist and a separate surprise reveal at the end. But the second act is a bit dodgy at times and it's mostly the pacing that suffers as a result. The cast members provide solid performance all-around, but by far the best part of this one for me is Thomasin McKenzie, who is a new-to-me young talent and an incredibly appealing one. In the end, this story wasn't quite what I was expecting, but that turned out to be just fine.
Disappointing. It gets a bad rating automatically when a dog dies.
Visually stunning, good acting, editing, but abysmal story. Would not watch if I could have my 90 min back. I do not recommend anyone to watch this.
Shit, bullshit, nonsense as you want This film has nothing to do with horror, it's just talking, talking and talking again. Almost the whole movie I was bored and fell asleep at the end, I watched it with only one eye and I was glad that I watched it to the end. The only thing that was positive about the film was the set design, masks, effects, etc., but that's not enough when the plot and script are worth a big slipper. So my rating is 4 out of 10 and I still narrowed my eyes.
Clearly an indie movie but the bad acting and bad story makes it a very amateur movie. Benefits from a good poster and a clever idea to justify why it’s still showing up on the lists
Only a mentally ill person can make something like this, a film that lacks any logical plot, a film that has no normal story, just a bloody slaughterhouse accompanied by nonsensical scenes such as a policeman taking a detained person on a chain and going to the house with him. slaughterhouses take place and to make matters worse he puts a gun in his hand. Or that the girl makes a hole in her throat and seals it with duct tape. Only someone mentally ill can like something like that, the film has no plot, the story is simply nothing but blood. I understand it's horror blood belongs there, but it must have some plot, etc. This has nothing but blood that is interspersed with nonsensical scenes that are unreal and nonsensical. Definitely one of the worst horror movies I've seen, but the mentally ill may like it.
The typical american haunting movie, nothing i havent seen before
A fairly interesting and well put-together film, but there are some loose ends that never got tied up and the significance of the ending wasn't very well laid out.
First 40min got me excited and invested in the story but then it all went downhill.. the ending especially. Don't watch this even when you're bored.
Rhett beginning was great thought it was going to be about creature! Then ghost not even close. too weird and no answers. won't watch again.
How these boring cliché horrors get rated so high I'll never know. We'll I do. A hyped movie and an often credulous audience being told it's amazing $$$$. That simple. Be part of the 'I get it' and 'it's genius' crowd. Does anyone that actually claims movies are genius actually explain why? Rarely. tired buzzwords. Meaningless.
I won't even talk about this movie, it's just left me too drained with disappoint. I want to just move on as fast as possible. Go watch it and make up your own mind. This is a masterpiece sure, in the art of Hollywood money making.
After a long time I tried to watch a fairy tale, unfortunately this genre did not appeal to me at all and therefore I rate 5/10, although this fairy tale definitely deserves a 7/10 rating for those who love fairy tales, so I think they will like it before Christmas but as I tell me I don't like these types of fairy tales, that's why such a low rating. sorry my English not good.
I can't possibly, do a proper review for this pile of dried semen.
I'd need to mention all the bits that caused 'what' shout outs.
that would result in a novel.
So let's just say. Do not watch thing fucking mess.
very good acting from Joaquín Cosio:) and from all other's actors :)
film in espagnol :)
a very good Mexican horror movie . For once you can believe in The devil :)
After a long time, a very successful and good horror film that had a good story and a decent atmosphere and perhaps one of the best horror films from 2017 to the present. Of course, you could work a little more on this film and then I would give 10/10, but it still deserves 9/10. Spanish and Mexico horror did not disappoint again and I think that Spanish horror movies are among the best Pak USA and sometimes Asia, but there is a weak direction.
