Absentia (2011)

Horror

 

This is a kind of a very slow horror movie. It feels like forever to enter the horror state from being in the drama state as it starts. But the horror state is not something that you might experience in the other high budget flicks. You hardly see anything scary other than glimpse of a creature and a man who appears from nowhere time to time. There is one gore scene which is a bit extraordinary but not that it makes you get scared either. However what I like about this is the story telling. It’s slow and quiet and gradually hits the spot which the viewer may not really expect. But overall it’s too normal though the actors seem to pull it out quite well. It’s just another horror flick for me.

 

2.5/5
