I'm so sorry but this left me so confused and disappointed. The plot was bad and the execution worse, clearly suffering from bad writing. I shouldn't have wasted my time on this.
Think of The Faculty, made on the cheap.
This German film tells the story of a wealthy family, where tragedy seems to strike the youngsters.
It tries so hard to tick several genre boxes, horror, thriller, sci fi, and therein lies the problem, it dabbles rather than succeeds, if it had provided more by way of scares, it may have worked a lot better.
There's a lot going on, and it's not without interest, there is a mystery which draws your interest, the revelation may have you scratching your head.
Some decent special effects, it is well acted, and shows us some beautiful parts of the country, the scenes from the house are fabulous.
Overall, not terrible, not great, watchable, 5.5/10.

The film starts promisingly. It stars some interesting newcomers who are already known from the successful German series Dark. The look of individual scenes is also good and reminds me of a mixture of Stranger things and dark.
However, the story starts to lose its thread after a few minutes. Thus, the story loses itself in a crude mixture of horror, black magic and some splatter. But nothing of it really seriously works. As a viewer, I did not experience any creepy feelings or scared at any point.
For my taste, there were clearly too many logic errors and implausible decisions by the characters. One happy coincidence follows the next.
Overall, the series seems conceptless and lovelessly designed. The best thing is the cast, even if all actors remain below their potential.

Not heard of this movie before and I watched the film, after reading the disgruntled reviews on here. It's really not a bad movie at all...
What I liked about this film, is that it's easy watching. It's not a hard core horror and focus on the occult/witchcraft.
If you're expecting the Conjuring type movie, it's not that at all. It's definitely low maintenance movie, but still enjoyable.
Nice to see a different storyline/horror, other than a possessed doll or human.

The Privilege wastes no time as within 10 minutes, there's blood, some violence, an evil creature and a death. The bold and horrifying opening is enough to capture your attention and build your curiosity to know more.
Overall, Netflix's latest German supernatural film doesn't pack any scares or screams due to a rushed plot and weak execution. It has enough bloodshed, gore, black magic and bad guys. But none of them is used in full potential to appreciate the interesting premise.
