Review of Necromentia (2009) by Eric L — 24 Feb 2011
Wow. Necromentia was actually an extremely pleasent surprise. I almost passed this one up when I saw it at my local video store for rent. I am very glad I didn't. This is obviously a movie of fantasy, but the way it was put together and the excellent creature/gore effects are so top notch, you feel as if this was a real life possibility.
Let me take a moment to talk about the creatures... they are amazing. They are all expertly designed, equal parts horrifying and amazing. Most of the creatures in this film were definitely inspired by the likes of Clive Barker, H.
P. Lovecraft, and Wes Craven. And in this film, those influences really show, and these filmakers took some of the best inspirations from these other classic horror mavens. Necromentia wasn't the best movie I have ever seen, but for what the movie was trying to do (scare the hell out of you and make you remember this film for weeks to come after seeing it) it definitely pulls it off very well with a surprisingly good cast and script.
A must see for anyone who calls themselves a horror movie fan.
