Review of Evie

Evie (2023)
6/10
A very atmospheric mystery...
13 January 2024
When I sat down to watch the 2023 movie "Evie" here in 2024, I had never actually heard about the movie. But I must say that I was instantly drawn to the movie's cover. And given the movie's cover and it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to watch it.

Writers Dominic Brunt and Jamie Lundy put together a rather interesting script and storyline. I was intrigued by the narrative and genuinely entertained, because it was a nicely constructed narrative. Sure, the pacing in "Evil" is a bit tedious, and thus it might not find a broad appeal with the wider audience. But I do think, if you enjoy horror mysteries, then you should certainly give "Evie" a chance.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but the actors and actresses put on good performances. I enjoy watching unfamiliar talents on the screen when I watch a movie, so the cast of "Evie" was a treat for me. Honey Lundy did a nice job in portraying the young Evie, while Holli Dempsey did an equal good job portraying adult Evie.

Something that really worked well in "Evie" was the music. It was dark ambient atmospheric and really layered the movie in an otherworldly sheen. It sounded like music made by CryoChamber, but I am not sure if it was that band or not. Regardless, the music in "Evie" is out of this world and really compliments the movie quite nicely.

My rating of directors Dominic Brunt and Jamie Lundy's 2023 movie "Evie" lands on a six out of ten stars.
