Lost Child (2017)
10/10
Excellent anti-horror film
25 May 2020
Up to a certain point, I agree that this movie is not horror. Horror films are usually crowded with ghosts, demons, devils, witches, necromancers, zombies, vampires, monsters, evil kids (sometimes from space), evil creatures, evil spirits, people possessed by evil spirits and other such utter nonsense of the sort (which I nonetheless admit to enjoy--and sometimes love--watching!). So, in that respect, this is not a horror film. On the other hand, having being raised in a cult, having watched a woman "possessed" and a relative attempting to perform an exorcism on her, and having spent years terrified of being possessed by demons myself, I have first-hand knowledge of the true horror this movie shows: the real-life damage that beliefs can wreak on the most vulnerable. Thank you to everyone who made this movie! You helped me in the ongoing process of healing the little "demon" inside.
