The Burning Girls (2023)
Loose ends and unfinished plot lines everywhere.
23 October 2023 - 15 out of 25 users found this review helpful.
Samantha Morton is brilliant as always, but the messy sub-plots and indecisive supernatural story line create too many loose ends and unanswered questions.
The motivation of most of the various murderous and sadistic characters are not explained, nor are most of their actions.
The supernatural visions of burning girls, ghosts, the dead rabbit / bird theme, lights going out and doors banging shut, and the cursed village plot in general, is clearly designed to build suspense and keep viewers watching, but then is left dangling with zero explanation, other than a brief moral subplot.
This is a decent rainy Sunday slow burner with a bit of a twist, but overall has a frustrating finish and is ragged around the edges.
