Jessie and the Elf Boy (2022)
A charming, heart warming Scottish family film with a magical plot
Myself and my hubby absolutely loved this heart felt film set in our beautiful Scotland. Jessie and the Elf Boy hit all the points I enjoy in a film of this genre - magical suspense, longing, humour, cinematic views of a beautiful countryside and characters that I was rooting for.
The magical forest start to the film projected vibes reminding me of maleficent and hobbiton which I loved. Both main characters are extremely likeable. I particularly enjoyed following how this mysterious magical Elf Boy was going to interact with the modern world in a Scottish city.
A film to be enjoyed by children and young people in addition to adults who are looking for a heart warming story with laugh out loud moments.
A re watchable film to be enjoyed by all the family!
Playhouse (2020)
Edge of your seat supernatural horror/thriller!!
Absolutely loved this!!!
Couldn't take my eyes off this film from the moment it started right through to the last shot.
Wide shots of the beautiful Scottish castle against the dark overcast clouds sets the haunting atmosphere for this gripping story.
The intimate angles and sounds of footsteps on creaky floorboards makes you feel like you are right there in the castle with all of the mysterious characters. The castle almost becomes one of the characters with its twisting staircase and draughty doorways.
The film has been cast incredibly well with the daughter portraying a disturbed demeanour and the writer father taking us through the manic ups and downs of the creative process of writing his play. He is both entertaining to watch in moments of wrestling with fear and terror whilst elsewhere made us laugh out loud in other moments of humour and dark psychology.
The layers of the story are like a present with different layers of wrapping - you think you've opened all the layers until there's another one and another one. It's a treat to watch a film that keeps you guessing all the way to the end with its unpredictability and twists.
Playhouse deliciously provides all the jump out of your skin moments you hope for in a horror film.
Playhouse is a treat and a must watch!!
