Okay, I really didn't like the Spanish speaking parts, where, only being 50% fluent in Spanish, I couldn't pick up on everything the mother and daughter were saying. Someone with 0% fluency will be lost completely! This was totally not necessary, and it detracted from the movie ... large scale! Next, "After She Died" had its eerie moments, and it did provide a sense of mystery and a slight bit of dread. However, with that being said, the whole supernatural part of the film is, sad to say, disjointed and, quite frankly, ridiculous! And the evil spirit mask was really, really bad! When you can tell it's akin to a Halloween mask, it's bad, okay? I have seen better costumes on five-year-olds who are trick-or-treating. Back to the disjointed story: Many parts were unnecessary and pointless and had me scratching my head. For instance, the very, very short lesbian scene should have ended up on the editing room floor. It had absolutely nothing to do with the story. Not a thing! Was this just posturing by the director for Hollywood to notice him? Probably. The actor playing the dad was not good at all, and appeared to be phoning it in rather than playing a character. The actresses playing the mother and daughter did exceptional work with what they were given. Overall, this could have been so much better. Much of it, which was unnecessary and confusing, should have been edited out. More money should have gone toward the presentation of the forest spirit. The side story concerning the daughter's "boyfriend" was completely out of place and should have been canned, and the storyboard should have been tended to with more of an understanding of what makes up a cohesive story. Not bad, but could have been world's better!

There are quite a few movies like this peppering the horror genre. Indeed, after about 30 minutes, I stopped watching because I really didn't want to see yet another "perfect family" flick - especially as it isn't one of my favourite brands. But I read somewhere that it gets crazier as it unfolds, so I came back the next day to give it a second chance. And I was so glad I did. This definitely subverts the cosy sub-genre and slices it up into its own volatile cocktail. I got a strong sense of satire and surreality - where nothing is meant to be taken too seriously, beautifully finished with the perfect ending to this notion. Like similar movies, it attacks the "apple-pie, happy family, white-picket fence" cliche, but here it is far more nuanced and, consequently, unsettling. You really are not sure what the characters really want as the plot turns challenge both them and the viewers. As it turns out, this is a breath of fresh air to my pre-judging and weary eyes (nose). Special mention for the two very good lead actresses, and what is an amazing achievement on a very limited budget. Well done !

After the death of her mother, a distraught teen is even more horrified to learn her father has moved on with a new girlfriend that is a doppelganger of her just-deceased mother, and despite all attempts to move past the awkwardness of everything it soon becomes obvious something deadly is affecting them. This was fine enough for what it is but still suffers from some issues. When this one works is due to the expected means where it's focused on the traditional genre thrills, which mainly revolve around the daughter thinking there's something wrong with the new girlfriend. As this trades between the psychological ramifications of her mental instability affecting her better judgment with nothing being overtly wrong and something supernatural affecting the girlfriend only she can sense, there's a generally enjoyable atmosphere throughout here as this tries to lay out the tangled means of the central storyline present. By complicating matters with a few bits of genuine supernatural occurrences like the demonic figure she sees following her or the visions of her mother's spirit being trapped and targeted by an unknown entity, it adds even more to the thrilling nature of what's happening. However, there are some big problems with this one. The main drawback is the film's rather dull and lethargic tempo that adds much of a drama undertone than a genuine genre atmosphere. Since no one does anything overtly malicious or macabre towards anyone else and the general tone is mistrust, it doesn't bode well for those expecting a ghostly mystery or something much more high-energy as this takes way too long to get going. That's the other big issue here with so many extraneous storylines present that don't really need to be here stretching this out far longer than necessary in order to hide the genre thrills until the final half. This can be fine at points but so much of this one doesn't come together until it's too late, making for a problematic time for some that can really hold this back. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

At first this movie is quite captivating, specially in it's visual aspect. It's quite vibrant for a horror movie and some shoots look interesting. It still felt low budget tho, but i think the crew behind it manage to make still look aesthetically pleasing. Too bad the story is horrible. This movie try to slowly build up mysteries on why this and that happening, but somehow some plot point just felt irrelevant at best. It's quite bizarre how the movie keep piling up the reason on why the thing behind the death of the mother character and what else happened at that time. They try to sell it as something devastating but it just doesn't make sense. Meanwhile, they also try to explore the supernatural aspect of it by adding a deity that can do rebirth and they portray it just like some homeless man in the woods lol. The Character that interact with it didn't seems freaked out, disturbed or anything lol. Mix that both together, and you get a story that goes back and forth while also keep adding meaningless part of the story each time the plot point unravel. I think the best word to describe this movie is "disjointed". Some plot point seems put together just because. Also, when you realize what the story is about, it's just disappointing because the execution done so poorly.

First film of Dead Northern 2022 and what a start to have to a festival. This film is very visually pleasing to the eye and the clever creative way of lighting does not disappoint. Reminds me of Only God Forgives. Has a very perverse twist hindering on incest with the main characters father dating a younger person who is similar to her deceased mother but is made more and more to look like her. Wish it had more of a flushed out story but this film does open itself to a prequel which I think would be interesting to see and hope the same team would do that if it ever happens. Hopefully Dead Northern brings us more gems like this.
