The Arbors (2020)
8/10
Monster inside not outside
26 March 2021
I could not but notice many negative reviews here, most of which are criticising this movie for not being "monster movie" enough. I on the other hand liked this movie, and it is more than what it seems.

A slow burner movie about a young man who is unable to cope with the reality and let go.

The moment you start watching this movie as a psychological rather than horror film all comes into places. There are some nicely wrapped details that help us understand what this movie is really about.

The monster in this movie can be taken and viewed as a real entity or as a metaphor. And that's where the beauty of it. Pay attention to a scene when the protagonist puts his fingers on his head, clutching it, it will explain a few things.

I liked it and it hink it should be rated anywhere between 7 to 8.
