Well done flick


This was really good! I loved how at the beginning you pretty much knew what was going to happen because it’s one of those popcorn movies but it still kept you engaged with good acting.

The Mother figure was very well written in the style of the classic French films ‘noble character’. How obsessed she became with providing for her family at the sacrifice of her self, how she let the locusts feast on her so that she could feed her family. She continued to let them feed on her even when she could afford to buy more blood because she was trying to give her children more and also to show the neighbors that she wasn’t a failure with a creepy business. She wouldn’t sell them for the pittance she was offered at the beginning, she was basically selling ‘herself’, her reputation, her ability to provide. There were a lot of other small metaphors in it as well but even if you missed them it was a lot of fun to watch, like an old monster movie!

I thought it was a pretty good film. Slow burn, but worth it. I thought it had great social commentary without being in your face. Suliane Brahim was fantastic as the mother.

Was definitely intrigued by the trailer. Will definitely put it on my watchlist.
