This ia a beautiful horror film that has echoes of the Euro horror films of the 1970's and 80's. I just wish it was as compelling as the earlier films.
A man named The Irishman goes into a small village to look for a hidden treasure.He and some men dig something up in the middle of the night and end up releasing three nymphs who has terrible plans for the town.
This is a very mannered film that wants be be about something big and meaningful. The trouble is it loses sight of the plot and as a result the film never generates any scares. Yes, the score and the images, particularly of the released women generate some chills, but they are only fleeting, the camera cuts away and the mood is lost.
I became bored rather quickly because there was nothing really compelling going on with characters and my connection was lost to a film more concerned with form over content.
I was disappointed.
