Review of The Nest

The Nest (I) (2020)
9/10
Not for everyone for sure
7 July 2021
It is tough to describe actually and it is far removed from a popcorn movie. Which either makes for a great Sneak Preview movie (surprise film) or a bad one. Because some people would definitely not choose to go watch this. As I can attest and was witness too the other day. Especially with the popcorn crowd ... they are not the best audience for this one - and some of them were quite the talkers! It's ok with movies that have a lot of ... noise, but not with this.

So a very slow movie that warrants and needs patience from its viewers. A movie that is not entirely clear on its purpose on its goals. It may seem like a horror movie at times and in a very wicked sense it sometimes is too. But it does not really transcend into that genre, even if that creepy feeling may snek up on you.

Awesome acting all around and a throwback to the 80s that I reckon is close to American Psycho, but without all the flashy bits that would make this be a popcorn movie ... and not nearly as violent as that. But the vibe is there and it is really well done ... for those who are into the drama that is.
