   Pretty darn good.
   Slow start but I felt like it accomplished so much with so little/regular resources.
   Simple and yet, surprising and chilling. 1 year 8 months ago

   Giving me vibes out of Wyndam's The Chrysallids, The Innocents (De uskyldige) presents children with mental powers in what could be a postapocalyptic setting, but it just an apartment block estate when most residents are on holiday (oh, to live in Scandinavia!). Initially, if there's to be a supervillain in the lot, it's the little girl who tortures her autistic big sister, but she turns out to be less sociopathic than the telekinetic boy she meets after moving to the estate (at which point I will mention the cruelty to animals as well as children in this film - even simulated, these can be hard to watch). A telepathic girl changes everything for them, and their powers start to grow from proximity to one another with both beneficial and terrible results. The Innocents is very much on the vein of psychic threat movies from the 70s, but having the kids both quite young and in several cases, uncertain of their moral compass, makes for intense viewing and a certain measure of squirming in your seat. And I do like how the powers are represented, with minimal effects or just through camera work. 8 months 2 weeks ago
