A dreadful mess of a muddled forgettable British film which does not know what it wants to be - Inland review by PV
Honestly, how does a film like this get made? The writer/director (always an alarm bell rings when I see that) is a 22 year old privileged Brit with posh artist parents and no doubt bags of cash, hence this film getting made.
But it is utterly forgettable and a real mess. It goes nowhere. The script is atrocious, meandering, rambling - and the story cannot decide if it is a mystical horror, or maybe a film about mental illness, or maybe a quest movie for mother who is missing, a crime thriller, an abduction, something mystical? Hence it is a real mess. Mercifully short.
Want a mystical film set in the woods? try THE RITUAL or MIDSOMAR which are fab or the truly disturbing UNDER THE SKIN for horror. For mental illness, well take your pick.
Such a disappointment. I read that it nis meant to be mystical and have layers of Englishness. How pretentious! Not as good as IN THE EARTH if you want a Britflick with mystical pagan forest stuff.
Nothing wrong with the acting BUT there is just no story worth filming here. Again, how does this dross ever get made when so many great scripts are out there?
1.5 stars.
