The Golem

We are living in a world that is so fast paced and so many people want some sort of super instant gratification from everything. If something on the screen isn't super action oriented it gets called "Slow and Boring" Everyone just "Slow down!" Enjoy a movie that tells a story, has character development, teaches you some things about other cultures, religions, and their differences. Not just cheesy jump scares and stupid dialog.

I really liked this movie. The acting was very good from people I have never seen before, and if you give yourself time to breathe and enjoy it you will be rewarded with a good story with an evil protagonist and some super gory outcomes for the people in the story. The scenery is great as well as the photography.

I don't want to spoil anything. I'll just say leave the world for 90 minutes and immerse yourself and concentrate and you'll realize some movies are slow for a reason.

If I listened to reviewers I'd miss out on many great movies.

Look we get it: the movie is slow. Though it's very unique, at least in my opinion and it seems to be super overlooked by impatient viewers. It's very stylized which you can take as you will, but pulls it off in a way that's not too over the top or anticlimactic. I feel like this movie was more a drama about dealing with your grief (albeit in a mystical way) rather than just a monster horror movie. There's not much to be said without spoiling a lot as the movie is a bit easy to figure out with a a few details.

The movie was a bit slow, but the acting was great, and the sets and cinematography were spot on. there was nothing new as far as horror tropes go, but i enjoyed watching!

I have mixed feeling about The Golem. I was up for watching a horror movie but I don't think you could categorize this movie as such. There are some gore moments but you never get that creepy tension while watching The Golem, a kid covered in mud isn't the most frightening thing to watch. The acting was okay, nothing award winning but nothing terrible either. The story is something new so that's a good point but it's also much too slow, too many moments where you just wait for something to happen and that is, if you're a bit tired, not good.

This movie was entertaining enough and well played. I thought it would be more "horrific". It's definitely not a horror movie. Much more a fantastic-historic one, with just a little bit of gore.
