The Binding

The movie is nicely set in rural Italy which lends to a lovely supernatural folky aesthetic. The storyline, while not being particularly original or unique, maintains an air of intrigue and unpredictability. The acting of the older family members is fantastic and a little creepy (good thing!) I wouldn't pay to watch it but is good option for a autumnal night in cuddled on the sofa.

A very normal horror without great innovations that is added to the many already existing, despite this however it still manages to create a good atmosphere of terror and tension even if in the end some things remain unnecessarily unexplained and in the film there are some quite evident weft holes.

This movie is a little and pretty low budget italian horror movie, with some scary moment and very cool cinematography. Cast is good, Scamarcio is a very underrated actor. The movie is little bit boring in the first part, but dark and scary in second and final part. My rating is 6/10.

And so should you if supernatural horror your thing but no actual thrilled scares or even jump scares more story driven

It took a couple of attempts to watch this, I fell asleep the first time round.

This film goes in hard with the uncanny. The first half is all creepy music and weird relatives talking secretively in hushed tones. Some herbalist witchcraft is going on and a lot of unusual activity seems to be centred on the daughter.

It takes a tortuously long time for it to become clear why everything is happening and when it does the same plodding pace continues.

A family history touched by tragedy and insanity belatedly reveals a possessive land spirit of sorts that's doomed to seek rebirth through vampire like taking of blood.

In principle is a great idea foe a horror film and something we don't see very often these days. The idea of malevolent forces operating just below the surface of modern life is good but the monotone presentation of this movie lets it down.

Not too bad a film but you may need a good strong coffee to get you through it.
