Avis à la une
This film is not what I expected walking into the auditorium. With all of the new horror films coming out going into the fall, I was expecting more of that. Take a group of people and have a monster pick them off one by one in new and creative (and probably disgusting ways) right?
Wrong. Nakani is not that film.
Its a story of circumstances that take us completely out our comfort zone and drop us into something totally unfamiliar, and malevolent. An almost nightmarish descent into the obscure, the unfamiliar and the horrible.
It had an excellent and sustained tone and feel that was completely about what really scares us. The unknown.
Being lost in the forest is frightening enough. But when you add an undefinable threat into that fear it gets amplified tenfold. There is something there, just out of view, hiding in the dark, and it wants to hurt you. That's Nakani.
The dismal atmosphere, and tension wearing down on the characters, and the complete lack of solutions is what makes this film work. The sense of dangerous mystery that is consistantly following makes the hair on the back your neck stand up.
I won't explain what Nakani is, but its something that everyone hopes they will never encounter. Something inside that assignes blame, and executes judgement.

Premiering in a Swiss Festival, "Nakani" is an alarming and clever look at a Canadian Native Indiginous Legend. The legend of the Nahanni Valley, or the 'Valley of the Headless Men'.
There is an atmosphere of degeneration from the full color, glossy 4K, 2:35 aspect ratio that then descends into a desaturated, dull, 4:3 aspect ratio, as the story progresses into the unknown.
On the screen, the trees are sun-soaked and bright green, the water is clear - full of sound and life, but once the characters cross the river by the waterfall, everything changes. It is very subtle, but as a viewer, you suddenly realise that something isn't right. The sky clouds over into a constant grey, the leaves on the trees drop off in the middle of summer, and the branches become naked and twisted. The world is deteriorating along with the characters.
The film relys on tension and ambiguous confusion to create the horror. Shadows, sounds and hints of something keep you from looking away. Sure, there some jumps scares, but these are used sparingly. It relys instead, on slow realisations and the hair on your neck slowly standing up.
The end of this film is excruciating and gives you a jolt scare, so effective, that you jump right out of your seat.
This is good storytelling and good scares with the startling realisation of what nakani actually is, and that the characters never even had a chance.
Moral?? Don't go into the woods when the local tribe tells you not to!!

Watching Nakani was kind of like getting lost while backpacking -- a little creepy, but mostly frustrating and sometimes terrifying. The ending was great, the last ten minutes were truly terrifying; other than that, I can only say that it was a good film. But when nakani is finally revealed/known? It becomes something close to greatness.
I didn't understand this movie. It just didn't make sense. I kept waiting for it to start, and it wasn't scarey. Where were the people that got killed? It didn't show anyone getting killed by the monster, they just vanished. What the heck is that? The monster was always out of focus, or hiding in the dark and I wanted to see it! This was meh for me.
I've noticed that all of the best horror stories come from either independent or japanese/korean filmmakers. Have you noticed that? Hollywood certainly has. Thats why they always take the best horror and remake it.
I hope they don't touch films like Nakani. It seems that budget limitations and ingenuity of original filmmakers make for a better product.
This film is scary in all the right ways, and doesn't rely on anything but a strong story and a genuine desire to frighten you.
Not everyone can be happy, but for me, this movie checks all the right boxes. Strong story, good acting, atmosphere and truly terrifying moving images. Being in Nakani is like watching someones nightmare.
Really spooky stuff here.
