Review of The Banishing (2021) by Leila Latif for The A.V. Club — 14 Apr 2021
While it’s admirable that this isn’t just another haunted house movie that relies solely on atmosphere and a handful of jump-scares, The Banishing is, in the end, a bit too much: Watching it is akin to sitting through a supercut of highlights from a season of American Horror Story (subtitle: British Countryside).
There’s fun to be had, but too little of it can be un-ironically admired.
