Let Her Out

Some horror movies can easily be declared as way too predictable and cliché. This one for example, where anyone watching is way ahead (no pun intended) of our main character. We know what is going on, even without much of the backstory. It hurts (yes the viewer too, but in a different way) just watching some things develop.

On the other hand, this has some really neat visual things up its sleeve and if you like horror, it does feed that lust and hunger you may feel inside. Not the best movie around or at Frightfest where I watched it, but not the worst one either. Just go with the flow, breathe and push ... well you know what I mean ...

Wasn't expecting much but hell this film turned out to be quit a ride. The story isn't really exceptional, twin sister 'lives' in the body of her sister and tries to get out, but it's told in a rather exciting way. Vivid colors, good editing, nice soundtrack: for those who loves their horror films to be a visual trip: this one is a feast. But also the story, a kind of schizophrenic Doctor Jekyl and Mister Hide history, is good enough to keep this film rolling. A good and inventive horror film, as it should be.

This film starts off with a hooker having sex with various clients, including a rape Then she is seen pregnant, stabbing herself to death in the stomach. Move on 23 years and her daughter Helen is experiencing horrific visions, plus much physical horror. Canada does have a history of body horror and this is no exception: spewing long, black hair, self mutilation, pulling skin off. Etc. Very graphic. Japanese horror is also very evident in the form of a ghastly female with long, dark hair. If you like graphic horror then this does not disappoint. The only things that I didn't like were that the two female lead characters looked too similar, and the ending was slightly poor. Sadly the latter is quite common with 21st century horror movies.

Took me a while before I watched this one because just see the low ratings. really, I loved it and I even found it one of the better horrors of 2016. I agree, it isn't going to be for everyone.

Therefor you really must dig a bit of arty camera-work and editing but if you can pass that you are into a flick that gives you more horror then you expected. You can watch it as a straight horror or you can watch it like it's all about schizophrenia. If you do so there's more to catch. The problem is that I can't say too much about the story but it did work for me. And yes, some scene's are a rip- off of those Asian flicks like the black hair coming out of the mouth but towards the end the gore comes in.

Let Her Out, the title does says it all, was a nice surprise and it really cut into my flesh. Recommend it to all geeks.

I wasn't expecting much given some of the reviews on here but this is a pretty entertaining film.

Yes it's not original. Yeah it reuses a load of ideas and I felt like i had seen this before but there's a bit of body horror, a bit of gore and a few jump scares.

Not the greatest horror film ever made but no way near as bad as some of the reviews. Worth watching.
