Lair (2021)

Picked this one up whilst browsing new release horrors and I'm so pleased I did. The story is a little all over the place and could have been simplified, but some really great performances and chills! Some very subtle shadowy ghosty moments that could have been made more obvious (I only noticed because my daughter pointed them out to me). I was particularly impressed by the woman who played Maria, Aislinn De'Ath-it's not often you see female characters that aren't supposed to be perfect but are also sympathetic. What struck me was how human Maria was, not always doing the right thing, not always being a perfect mom or girlfriend but trying so hard. It was a really beautiful performance, and there's a moment towards the end of the movie that really shows the range of this actress. I also thought the chemistry between the two female leads was very good (although I felt the actress who played the girlfriend wasn't all that natural). Always nice to see Oded Fehr too, but I felt he mumbled his way through the scene which was a shame.

The ending totally caught me off guard and was a real fun one. For a little British film I'd not heard of before I watched it, I've got to say, I'm impressed in general, I see a lot of bad horror out there but this had a lot to be pleased with.

Fmovies: Indie horrors seem to vary enormously across the board but this is one of the better ones. With a storyline that kept me interested and a twist ending that I didn't see coming, I was very impressed with both the quality and the narrative. The acting was similarly impressive and lovely to see some fresh faces for once. Two ones to watch are Aislinn De'Ath and Anya Newall who both played their parts beautifully and convincingly. I was also delighted to see a story that had an LGBT couple that was treated as a normal part of the plot.

This is a good old English spooky story which I liked very much. Yes I did. Problem with these movies is this: you like it or you don't and I did like it.

Lair fmovies. I feel like I wasted my time with this I was about to shut it down since it started but I decided to give it a chance it seemed like it was getting a lot better as it was getting further that's what I thought but then it got more stupid and it left me with many questions to be honest.

Well Corey Johnson is always worth a watch, a consummate professional as is Oded Fehr. There the positives end to be honest, you don't even get much of Fehr. It all falls apart when the afternoon TV fodder turn up, 3 women who cannot act and some ankle-biter. The lesbian romance is once again only there for the usual sensationalism and is absolutely pointless. As for the word horror, well it doesn't really happen. The ending will have you rolling your eyes.

I mean if you enjoy movies like Blood Punch or All I Need then this one will interests you. That being said when things did happen that caught your attention, sadly they were far and few between. I guess it could have been better but I enjoyed the story honestly. I recommend as a one time watch.
