Review of Mara

Mara (I) (2018)
8/10
She marks you first then you die
10 September 2018
I liked the concept and the poster so gave it a chance. It's a good horror film. Starts slow. First half is really good, the atmosphere was creepy. Olga Kurylenko was broken but likeable which is very hard to pull off in a horror film. Olga Kurylenko plays her role very well, from the beginning there is a sense that she is not well fitted in the world, may be running from something, may be hiding something. Those little facial expressions make sense as the film goes on.

The film focuses on Olga's decent to madness which is ironic and there are few creepy/scary scenes here and there to keep things interesting.

The film could have been a lot better. I would have loved to learn more about Mara's history, they could have focused more on the victims agony but it could have been a lot worse.

The film deserves 6.5+ I rated it 8 because I liked how it ended.
