Review of Morituris

Morituris (2011)
6/10
too slow and too dark
14 September 2015
It took me 4 years to go watch this one because it never had the subs I wanted, Italian spoken and that's a language I don't understand. So far I only found it with French subs, I do understand it a bit but...

On the other hand I knew that this was ultra gore as be spoken on so many forums. So I thought, well the talking will only be in the beginning and you immediately know were it's going. And clocking in under 90 minutes, well I put it on.

30 minutes later, the only thing we had was talking, seducing, talking, talk(yawn)ing. In fact, what you have the first 30 minutes could have been cut into 5 minutes. The love affair at 30 minutes, again way too long before things go awry, and I must say, I didn't saw it coming. From then on it can be offending for the faint-hearted and some will remember Last House On The Left (1972). Some scene's are shot in a house with Mark Of The Devil on the background and again, shocking for some. It doesn't become gory or whatsoever but the brutality used is what makes this flick. So far so good but of course what let people down was the ending, once they discovered some graves things go wrong a second time.

The overall problem is that this is a low budget and no extra lighting was used so long shots were too dark. On the second hand, it is a rather slow flick, should have been better to have made a short out of it.

But still, the brutality and the gore added will make it a must have for gorehounds.
