The Influence (2019)
8/10
Rock solid
21 February 2020
No I'm not under "the influence" - although if I was, I would deny it, wouldn't I? Probably ... so bad joke aside and back the movie. I am surprised about the low rating, but it just goes to show you that tastes are different! Way different. And I'm not saying anything about anyone being right or wrong (although to keep a theme going that should be write or rong I reckon, as in "waist of time" - which in turn would make a great movie title) ... this is just about what someone likes to watch and what not.

This is more of slow burner, though it still has quite a lot of jump scares. And even the sturcture and build up is quite interesting. You kind of know that something wicked has happened and you know something evil is lurking ... and still it is comprehensive and it is tension filled enough to work. If you go with the flow that is ... can you dig it? I for once like my horror to challenge me a little bit, not to mention the characters involved!
