Crone Wood

 

Weird, and well... weird. 

This movie centers around a couple who decide to go camping in the Irish countryside. Now it is important to note that this is like their first date, so they don't know each other that well and this leads to a lot of the dialogue and character conflict/banter. 

One night as the couple were getting cozy, they realize that someone was watching them/was in the room with them. They then go on a chase to track down the individual, allow their tent to get stolen and then witness weird rituals and happenings. 

Now this movie has many themes, but listing any of them would likely spoil the movie or give a quicker indication of the twists to come. I would recommend that the watcher either check the TW or go into this knowing there is a strong sexual component that could trigger some individuals. 

I found the movie to be more entertaining than The Blair witch project and a tad bit more unsettling. The movie made me feel a little icky, if that might be the right word. I loved it until the end was in sight, then I started to feel, I don't know, icky...

The visuals were not very good, but that is expected with a found footage film. The acting was okay, I feel that the female main character had the best character arc and acting. I found the sound quality to be a bit lacking and unclear. As for character growth, there isn't anything to write home about. 

I don't really know what to say without spoiling the movie, and I feel that even though some important stigmas and topics are addressed the movie doesn't make it clear enough and the message on how the director feels about it isn't made clear. 

It was an okay movie I guess, but I wouldn't necessarily watch it again.
