Review of Pensive

Pensive (2022)
5/10
Wasted potential
17 September 2023
  • I liked the cinematography, I really enjoyed the sound too.


  • I loved that comedic character. You know who I'm talking about.


  • It takes quite some time to establish itself. 45 minutes for an 87-minute slasher seems like too much time to me.


  • It doesn't explore its biggest mystery enough (the figures).


  • It doesn't delve deep enough into most of its characters and gives a terrible conclusion to the central romance (the boat scene is ridiculous).


  • Most of the deaths are good, with some creative imagination.


  • Still, I'm trying to figure out why 20/30 teenagers wouldn't come together to take down a man with a knife.


  • The main character's arc is unexpected and, in a way, interesting.


  • It's not a terrible slasher to start with, but it's very similar to everything that has already been done, with the potential for much more if it had explored the local folklore behind the plot.
