Matriarch (I) (2022)
6/10
Scratches the slow burn folk horror itch
22 October 2022
This is a good one to check out with no up-front information. Turns into a mostly folk horror piece mixed with some other genres (body/cult/trauma) and gets the job done to become unsettling, dark, and disturbing at times. Good sound design adds to some effective atmospheric conditions and intensity. It's not a large, noteworthy cast or anything but the scenes stay focused on the two strong leads, which perform very well and keep attention on them as you would hope- and most effective when together. There are some scenes that feel like they are only thrown in to add running time, unfortunately. Not perfect, but overall, this viewing is worth a look.
