The Widow (2020)
4/10
Death is such a great mercy
23 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
In a forest outside of St. Petersburg, Russia people go missing every year not politically related. A crack rescue team along with a reporter are searching for a lost boy when they find a nude woman near dead. The woman gives us the back story of the widow murdered by villagers and how she demands human sacrifices. As they attempt to leave the forest, the forest doesn't allow them to go as they must now fight to survive.

This was a Russian film dubbed in English. Subtitles unavailable. The voices were the same ones used in bad foreign films for the last 50 years. The press lady was acceptable, the rest need to be cut and replaced. Newspapers with Russian headlines appeared important but were not translated. Part of the movie looks like found footage. They even had the dragged from behind scene. Failure to pay attention to details such as this ruined what would be an otherwise decent film.

Guide: No swearing. Brief nudity. No sex.
