O Monastério

I liked the movie very much. So dark and till the end you cannot understand what is the final. In movie there are some clues but you have to watch very carefully. Actually when it is not in English, I really cannot follow but for this movie it is necessary. Good for 2022 and it was different story, I liked the end, message was so clear. Actually there are several messages in it. I will not say this is a horror movie but it has super tension. Highly recommend to watch but really you have to watch with all eyes.. By the way visual effects are also super nice. I can say I like the actings too. Very good.

Not a great movie, but still the best horror movie i have watched the last 2 years, except for "WHAT JOSIAH SAW". But this, unlike JOSIAH, is a pure horror movie. There are twists, some are predictable and one i didn't see it coming. Acting is good, especially for a horror movie. It's much scarier than watching a masked-face man killing others. I got scared watching this and the ending made it even scarier, in retrospect.

In any case, this is a polarising ending. For sure, some people will dislike the whole movie because of it. I don't wanna spoil it, therefore i won't say anything about the ending, but if you are looking for a real horror movie, not a comedy horror, not mindless fun, i believe that you will like it.

I liked this one. Starts as an investigative thriller and goes full horror in its third act.

It can be a bit repetitive during the set-up and development but it pays off with a cool ending, nice visuals (not perfect or Hollywood level, of course), and a bleak atmosphere. A good surprise. Some plot twists are kind of expected but there are definitely some surprises and new ideas.

Initially I was not particularly intrigued by the cover/poster for this movie, but the movie's synopsis seemed interesting enough. And also the fact that "Ostatnia Wieczerza" (aka "Hellhole") was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen also played a part in me sitting down to watch it.

Now, I had never heard about this movie from director Bartosz M. Kowalski prior to sitting down to watch it. And the fact that a movie like this made its way to Netflix was definitely quite a surprise.

The storyline in the movie was genuinely creepy and atmospheric, so writers Bartosz M. Kowalski and Mirella Zaradkiewicz definitely put together an amazing script, and I have to say that I was genuinely entertained from beginning to end of this movie. It was such a well-written storyline that sank in deep under the skin and will stick with me for some time. This felt like a trip back to way back when they used to make really atmospheric horror movies.

I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, since I have not watched a lot of Polish movies. But it should be noted that the acting performances in the movie were good and very convincing. The performers really did good jobs in bringing the movie to life on the screen and bringing the characters to life on the screen as well.

Director Bartosz M. Kowalski was good at slowly building up the story, piling on slowly layer by layer, letting the suspense amass and the disturbing atmosphere brood and sink it with great effect.

Visually then "Ostatnia Wieczerza" was interesting. It is a movie that is filmed in bleak colors and an equally so environment, which really adds to the atmosphere of the movie. It works and it works on a great many levels. And the special effects and CGI in the movie were phenomenal. It is not a movie that made use of an abundance of special effects and CGI, but what was in the movie worked quite well. Thumbs up to the special effects team here.

If you enjoy horror movies, then you most definitely have to sit down and watch "Ostatnia Wieczerza". I was pleasantly surprised with the movie's storyline, its impact at the hands of director Bartosz M. Kowalski. This is without a doubt a horror movie that I will recommend to fans of the horror genre.

My rating of "Ostatnia Wieczerza" lands on a well-deserved eight out of ten stars.

Having seen no trailer of this, I've decided to do some mix and match with The Cabinet of Curiosities and I like this better than the first 4 episodes of that show (Lot 36, Graveyard Rats, The Autopsy, The Outside). The monastery in this movie felt lived-in and authentic compared to the obvious movie sets in that Guillermo del Toro show. Although both of these are disgusting so try not to eat during it.

This movie started a little slow and obvious but there are twists and turns along the way to keep you going. Not much characterization beyond the 3 or 4 names that are mentioned in the movie but no matter, the plot (and the title) is what draws the viewer interest anyways.

As for the ending, yes they did go there. It's divisive for sure but I like it and I find it appropriate.

All in all, a decent watch for Halloween season. Much better than I expected and much better than those cheap Blumhouse horror flicks.
