The Innocents (2021)
6/10
Creepy story with great child actors!
31 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
First of all I want to say bravo to the child actors. They took me on a rollercoaster of feelings. Looking forward to see their progress in the future.

Movie was watched as a pre release in Bergen KP12 31th of august 2021.

Spoiler alert: The mindcontrol jedi-shit really broke the story for me. I never saw that coming and it made the movie less "evil" as it progressed.

When the kids threw the cat down the stairs, I hoped they would focus on a destructive path of child psychopaths in the real world. By connecting the dots on how society have some lost souls that do evil as a cry for help.

I know the symbolic "take over" of a loving mother that suddenly kills her own daughter, is a way to show crazyness that some psychos have. And it raises the question for Ida; could my parents kill me? But it was confusing since the mother cried a lot without telling her story.

The ending was really predictable and focused on making the big sister with authism as the "hero" who killed evil... It would be more dramatic if they had a knife-fight right in front of all the adults and children at the playground.

Short summary; This film is a story about moving to a new place, with children killing other children using jedi forces. Pretty strange combination.
