Review of The Living and the Dead (2006) by Tobias H — 16 Nov 2018
I was very intrigued by this movie, but after actually watching it really does not live up to the praise. It is not terrible, for example, the acting is fine and at least the portrayal of a mentally unsound person is not completely butchered.
The cinematography works well and can convey some important aspects of the scene for the viewer. I enjoyed the movie for the first half, but this film soon deflates of all suspense. It delves into some dream-like sequences, but these just come off as pretentious.
Overall this movies starts as a slow burn and leaves you wanting the ending going in a completely different way, and not in a good way.
