The return of the deadites with ‘Infernal Possession: The Awakening’ came with the intention of adapting the Sam Raimi saga to many current terror phenomena. Starting with the aesthetic, but also including the tendency to reboot to continue the franchise without pulling too much from the original. But above all it is noticeable in the inclusion of the subject of broken family to which is added a supernatural threat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

the hole sucks you in<\/h2>\n

It’s no stranger to director Lee Cronin. In fact, his first feature film already explored that same line from a different type of terror. ‘Cursed Forest’, a film available to watch through Amazon Prime Video, employs less wild gore and less sense of humor than the revitalization of ‘Hell’s Possession’, but anticipates many of your keys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sarah is a mother who moves to a rural house deep in the woods with her young son, apparently escaping from the previous life. It is a change of situation to which they have to adapt, at the same time that they discover a strange and huge hole next to the house. One day the boy disappears in the woods, and the mother suspects that she may have fallen into the hole. When she returns, her behavior is different than usual, which arouses many suspicions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The film touches on very real fears around family, which seems to be one of the constants in a lot of modern horror cinema (especially the “elevated”) along with trauma. The distribution of A24 already gives us a clue as to how he treats the subject and the rhythm that Cronin chooses to follow, with a certain parsimony that offers the opportunity to pay attention to all movies that directly or indirectly inspire her<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From ‘Babadook’ to ‘The Prophecy’, but with much more restraint in the terrifying section. There is a lot of concern, especially when the film hints at the component of previous abuse suffered by the protagonist of her partner and the fear of her son’s behavior acquires more nuances. however, always feels like a derivative version of another work<\/strong> that you have seen before<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It feels like a missed opportunity<\/strong>Because you don’t feel like you’re doing anything really remarkable or special with something that has your potential. He never stops opting for the disturbance of a ‘Goodnight, Mom’ or for giving more entity to the supernatural, which reaches its most interesting points in an interesting final stretch although, again, it feels derived from other tapes.<\/p>\n
