Augh, Paramount+
We're about to head off to see something on the big screen called Dancing Village: The Curse Begins. I wasn't aware of this film in the slightest until it showed up on the release radar this week. It's an Indonesian film that's getting a limited theatrical release here for some reason, I haven't read much into why. But I enjoy watching foreign horror films for the most part, and I'm curious to see if there's going to be much of a turnout. When we saw Exhuma in theaters last months tons of people came out for that one, but we live in a pretty densely populated Korean area. Either no one will be in this film but us, or I'll learn something about our demographics I guess. I'm not sure what to expect from it; I don't even know the plot synopsis nor have I seen any trailer for this movie. It's fairly long, which could be a popular thing in Asian countries perhaps since these will be two of the longest horror movies we've watched this year.
We watched something I had been meaning to check out for a few months now last night called The Seeding. It had a limited run at some point early this year but I couldn't find it playing nearby. It's a folk horror movie... which means I didn't care for it much. It reminded me a lot of Midsommar in theming at times, which I also really didn't care for. At least with Midsommar there are some moments, mostly early, where I did feel like I was gonna like it. Here that thought vanished pretty quickly. It's competently made; visually it looks fine, it's acted fine. I just don't like the story decisions; it's bleak, too bleak. Unlike a movie from last year like say, When Evil Lurks, it didn't have any characters I could enjoy that were at the heart of the film. That's why I liken it more to Midsommar because again, the cast is very unlikable. Kind of a disappointment, but at least I finally watched it.
