![]() ![]() It actually makes sense why this is a cursed film and possible why the bad things happen. What makes this even better is that at the very ending during the credits, it goes back to the documentary aspect to explain them. There's really cool aspect to this film that if you're paying attention of you will see flashes of images in different places. A lot of this is actually based on perception though. I don't really want to spoil a reveal that happens late in the movie, because it actually makes a lot of sense to the truth of what is going on. I actually don't mind this though, because a lot of what happens here is really in the visuals. The recap to this had to be a little bit shorter as there's actually not a lot to the story here. Things aren't necessarily how they seem though and there are these weird men nearby who also seem to be Devil worshippers. They have to dig a hole and go through the many layers in order to get to the level the dog's soul is at. Near them, in the woods is antrum, or the door to hell. His sister finds a book where she thinks that she can go to Hell to bring the dog's soul back. ![]() His mother isn't the nicest when he asks if the dog will go to heaven. They're family dog has to be put down and Nathan takes it quite hard. We have Nathan (Rowan Smyth) and his sister Oralee (Nicole Tompkins). ![]() There's even a warning at the beginning stating that anyone who watches it, will die. I really like how you get this uneasy feeling before it is actually shown. ![]() There were also mysterious deaths when it was shopped around to show at film festivals. This was screened in Romania and the theater burned down. It is supposed to be coming out of Russia from what I could tell. We actually start this off as a mockumentary of the history of this film. Said to be a cursed film from the late 1970's, Antrum examines the horrifying power of storytelling. The synopsis is a young boy and girl enters the forest to dig a hole to hell. This was also the regional premiere for it, so that was kind of a cool aspect as well. The little bit he told me, I made sure this was one that I would check out as it kind of sounds like similar to things like The Ring where there's a curse film. This was a film that I heard about from one of the people that voted on what films to have at the Nightmares Film Festival. ![]()
