feels silly

Lily Pierce (Molly Kunz) is haunted her childhood memory of witnessing her mother's brutal suicide. She has a caring girlfriend despite her volatile episodes with her supernatural visions. She is called to visit her father who is living alone on the family farm.This is a functional spooky horror for awhile. When she puts on the armor, I can't help but snicker at it. It feels silly. I'm willing to accept the premise, but something about it feels a little amateurish and LARP. Maybe she could buy the armor from an antique store and adapt it. Also, forget about the gun. The excuse is just an excuse and I don't buy it. The acting is fine. The budget restraints the story and the filmmaking. In the end, I can't shake the silly feeling.

Someone's pet project best left in their home

This film was written, directed and filmed by the same person whose family owns the property on which it is filmed. It's a passion project and I'm sure it's meaningful to him, his wife who is apparently a part of this film and whom part of the story resembles, and is best left in their living room. There is no reason to care about any of the characters and you don't. The dialogue is clunky. The lead actress is the only one who can act and I have to wonder what brought her to star in this film, perhaps some connection with the director.In short, young woman suffers from nightmares of seeing her mother, with scratches on her face, kill herself in the woods. Why? Don't know. But she's a fencing instructor, always had a fascination with the knights and a story mom tells, and has a lesbian relationship with a girl in the movie who has little acting skills but is probably stunted by the mindless dialogue. It feels like it was inserted to have an LGBTQ character to have enought screen time to have no purpose other than to remind you the film has significant LGBTQ presence.Girl must go back home to see Dad who is cleaning up stuff after mom's death. A stilted dialogue about a challenging relationship with Daddy and question the entire first 70 minutes of the film - are girl's visions of a monster following her in life and in her dreams real. It relates to her mother possibly also being a demon. Now you'll sit and watch this story do nothing but explore lesbian and daddy relationships until the very end when that question is answered in a very laughable ending that reminded me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. When other said it's plodding is an understatement, they meant it. And the decent reviews by the few indie reviewers... well... we should know better than to take them seriously. It's a wealthy film school graduate's passion project. Good for him to make a full feature film. While the camera work isn't bad, almost everything else is sadly not worth watching for the rest of us.

Silly, boring and confusing

A very strange film for sure. How would I describe it?Part ghost story, part LBGTQIA story, part dungeons and dragons. I think that's got the main points down.None of it made any sense. There were some good scenes at least. Those were the creepy ones. The lesbian relationship bit had no bearing on the rest of the story.The main character was horribly written being the most unsympathetic protagonist I have ever seen in a motion picture. She is bratty, spoilt, ungrateful and generally unhappy with everyone.Thankfully it's a tiny budget, so at least it won't be disappointing its bank manager too much. In short, avoid.
