Amulet (2020)

The people behind this movie got many things right, an interesting story, outstanding cinematography, excellent acting from the entire cast, great atmosphere , and some sickening horror effects. Problem is, the interesting story is slow to develop, and overall much of the movie drags. Too many shots of corrosion and decay, spooky statues and slime, but not enough action. The movie needed to move along and because it didn't , it felt overly long. Secrets and demons, this could have been a cut above your usual horror movie, it's certainly well made, but in 2020 the average audience is going to ask more from a horror film then what this delivers. Worth a one time watch if you stick with it.

Fmovies: If you like art-house horror and especially movies in the spirit of the blackcoats daughter or the vvitch, this is something for you. Amulet is mysterious, bizzare and definitely dark but also beatifully shot, engaging and well acted. Top notch. So do yourself a favor and ignore the reviews, some people just like when their horror is a jumpscare filled joke.

I had heard great things about this film and last night settled down to watch it. What a disaster, I don't know what it is with horror film directors but why do they have to make their films 'arty.' What has happened to a straight scary horror movie? This could have been such a good film if it was done as a scary film and not like some student trying to impress their tutor. All in all it wasn't scary at all, the a ting was good but just good, there was a good story with it but that was it. Just over an hour and a half of my life I won't get back. Don't believe the hype, if you are going to watch it keep an open mind and don't read any reviews first.

Amulet fmovies. Extremely slow getting anywhere. Once it does get where it is going, you wish it hadn't. A boring journey. Nonsense made up ideology that goes unexplained completely. Terrible story telling (Direction and writing). Pass on this. You can't say you were not warned.

If you are looking for a gore feast or have the attention span of a flea this movie is not for you.

With suburb acting, story, and production this movies is engaging from start to finish.

This film does require you to actually watch it to get the most out of the subtleties through out that give you a sense of the characters conflicts and personalities.

All in all a superb film

I love Hereditary and Midsommar and Lighthouse, but this is clearly not on same level. It has very bad rhythm, storytelling is way off, cast is completely uninvolving and their accents annoying. Music and sound were great, ending was somewhat rewarding, but it's done completely anticlimactically, and first hour or so were a true bore. Even if you are horror fan, you can safely skip this, unless you are completitionist.
