Synopsis
Following an accident that leaves him homeless in London, former soldier Tomaz is brought to the rotting home of Magda, a lonely woman in desperate need of help as she looks after her dying mother. Though at first resistant, Magda eventually welcomes him into their lives and allows him to help her care for them. But as he worms his way into their routine and begins to fall for Magda, Tomaz starts to notice strange, unexplainable, and ugly phenomena. Something seems very wrong with the mysterious old woman who never leaves the top floor, and Magda may in fact be enslaved to do her otherworldly bidding.

🚫40% 2020 list - Click HERE Amulet seems to be a fairly divisive film between critics and the general audiences. I often find myself leaning more towards the critics, but this is the opposite case. Amulet started off showcasing a ton of potential, but it slowly devolved…
Austin BurkeJul 27, 2020The second new release, and feature length debut of the night for me, though I decided to sleep on it before writing anything about this one. Writer/director Romola Garai brings forward a film that resembles something familiar, with a simmering element of strange beneath…
FreyrJan 11, 2021Whoever told indie filmmakers that horror movies were "actually about trauma" really ruined movies for everyone for a while, huh? I can't tell you how much I would rather watch Evil Dead 2 than another plodding slow burn towards the same destination as always.

It starts throwing details at you almost immediately, each one building on yet also undermining the last, as if it were deliberately trying to confound your sense of what kind of movie you’re watching.

Horror movies usually aim to scare, entertain, and teach us. Amulet mostly does all three. Very nicely done.
