The Mimic (2017)
5/10
An Average Movie
6 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This has a lot of things going on in it. It is about an entity. This entity is in the form of a tiger. Long ago there were shamans who served and tried to appease this entity. One of the shamans, who served faithfully, became a partial physical embodiment of the entity and it still was not appeased. So in a, for lack of a better word, ritual, this shaman offered up his whole self along with his abused daughter. His daughter had a quality that would make the entity strong. After the ritual, both the shaman and the daughter disappeared into a cave, never to be seen again.

The area around the cave became a notorious hotspot for missing people who claimed to be hearing voices during the days prior to their disappearances. It is revealed that the shaman, who is now the entity, uses both the daughter and an ability to mimic voices to exploit vulnerabilities to lure people to the cave.

It wasn't scary but the scene where the entity takes total control of the shaman was slightly disturbing. The shaman's daughter had a story that was heartbreakingly sad and her ghost, which was a solid, physical form when manifested, had moments of creepiness in her behavior.

It was just an average watch for me.
