Nothing Bad Can Happen
This wasn’t as extreme as I thought it would be, but it’s definitely a film that makes you feel icky and almost dirty by the end. Even though neither myself, or you, have been in the situation that the parents (specifically Benno) are in, I still feel ashamed. I don’t know why. It’s just a traumatic series of events, and you want to help, but can’t. I like the religious aspects of it, which helps give Tore purpose and a point. It still would’ve been a solid film if that wasn’t the case, but from a writing standpoint, it really sells it. Also, this is apparently based on a true story, though I couldn’t find that story anywhere online. So I'm curious how close this is. But yeah, it’s tragic and sad. I think the build up is really drawn out, though it’s mostly necessary. I just got bored at times because it felt like nothing happened. It’s definitely a slow burn film. The performances were all decent, though nobody really stands out except for Julius Feldmeier. That poor boy, you just want to reach through the screen and give him a hug. Overall, this film is solid and is disturbing, but it does feel very long, even though it’s under two hours. Not really one I’d want to watch again, but I may revisit it just to see if I will appreciate it more. I’d probably recommend it to most psychological horror fans.
