Review of The Razing

The Razing (2022)
Intense, but out of balance
2 October 2022
I really was into this movie at the start, because the photography and the sound score are intensely dark, unnerving and claustrophobic. Really impressive.

The dialogues are dark and intens and unnerving as well. This promised to be a heck of an intensely dark movie at the start.

The bad; unfortunately, this movie has only got 1 gear. There are no breathers in this script. There are no breathers in the constant booming loud sound score and distorted photography. There is no pause between the clashes of the characters. It's simply TOO much for TOO long.

The story is quite erratic. Weird and confusing storylines can be interesting, but there has to be some core credibility to the story to keep me engaged.

It could have been a heck of a short movie, but for a full feature movie of 110 minutes, this intensity (with contineous booming sound score and distorted photography) simply got on my nerves and I couldnt sympathize with the characters no more.

In an impressive way very intense, but unfortunately out of balance as well...
