Review of Siren

Siren (I) (2016)
7/10
A sexy and brutal love story.

Warning: Spoilers
I can understand people expecting a "run of the mill" horror are disappointed with this movie. It's more of a fairy tale kinda movie, a blood and gore love story, which at times reminded me of "The Beauty and The Beast", or "The Phantom of The Opera". Except this creature is a female demon from hell, a Lilith, who sings songs of captivation, hence the title.

They did a very good job casting Hannah Fierman to play Lilith. Her big eyes and a pretty little face, weird and sexy. She played the part really well. I also liked that particular sex scene between her and Chase Williamson. Brutal and erotic.

Justin Welborn also did a good job playing the creepy/weird Mr. Nyx.

Concerning Lilith action, the camera and lighting could've been better, I'm not a fan of quick dark and flashy fight scenes, but I found it a decent movie in spite of that. Overall acting was good and the writing original, at least I've never seen a movie like it. As a pure heart stopping horror it should have a bad rating, but as a fantasy/horror/romance it deserves at least a 7.

10 stars minus 3 for bad camera/lighting.
