𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 - The Owners (2020)
Title: The Owners - Screentime: 92min - Director: Julius Berg
An elderly couple turn the tables on a group of young thieves who broke into their house while they were away.
Rural England, early nineties: childhood friends Nathan and Terry are induced by the local sociopath to steal from the Huggins, an elderly doctor and his wife. Nathan's girlfriend, Mary, is totally against the plan, but a few hours later she finds herself in the stately home, beside the safe in the basement and a bunch of other individuals, each more suspicious than the next.
Hello hello my pretty bumblebees! Happy beginning of the week! What did you guys do over the weekend? Did you rest or did you maybe go out and have fun? It is summer after all, I certainly hope you guys are enjoying the weather wisely and making the most out of your free time –If you have any!–. Me? I've used the weekend to catch up with some people, some work, and also the blog! While I haven't managed to make a lot of advances yet, I do already have some things lined up for the week and so!
Do you ever just get a sudden rush of motivation and get so much done it feels like nothing can stop you? Yeah! That's how the weekend has been!
I also wanted to catch up with some movies, and so because of that I bring you guys today this really weird film I watched Friday night!
This week I'm sharing with all of you "The Owners". I'm not going to lie to you, it's not of my favorite movies, but I also did not hate it at ALL. If you know me, you know that while I love supernatural and monsters and demons, my favorite thing ever are home invasions and crazy people. There's this thrill about watching just regular humans do such messed up things that make these kind of movies, if I must, way more terrifying than a blood thirsty demon.
It was a very weird film, very engaging at times, touching some unsettling dark topics, hinting to some debatable behaviors, but overall a good movie that kept me entertained and paying attention most of the night. While it was quite predictable and none of the aspects of it were really... 'New' to say, I still found it quite pleasing to watch!
Not breaking the mold and sticking to some classic and basic rules from horror isn't at all bad when you actually put effort and manage to execute well, and I do truly believe they worked the plot twist in a very wise way that made it welcome. The movie appears fairly lightweight and slow for the first few minutes and it then has the twist that will make you double take and start paying more attention. The anxiousness of watching it all unfold, the knot in your stomach as you don't know if they'll be able to make it out, they're all things I look for when I watch a horror movie!
While, again, the film is very predictable and slightly, let's say 'dramatic'–, I appreciate the ending a lot! It is, without a doubt, a very surprising and also unpleasant movie at times. (which considering its a horror, it's not at all bad!)
To close up, and quoting Meagan from one of my favorite blogs, 'Bloody Disgusting':
< ...While "The Owners" doesn’t attempt to break the mold, it instead opts for a peculiar brand of insanity to complement the violence... "The Owners" offers a solid enough entry in home invasion thrillers, one in which there are no heroes.>
And with that, we give it an end to today's movie review! It really is hard to talk about some movies without giving it all away, ain't it? Though once you start watching it you can tie all the ends together very quickly. While this won't be a movie that I remember very clearly in a few more weeks, I can confidently say I'll be thinking about it for some days. Would you give this movie a chance? Are home invasions down your alley? Is there any movie you'd like me to see and hear my opinion on? Let me know! I love getting recommendations from you guys ♡
I'll get going now, make sure to take care, stay hydrated and be careful with the sun! I'll see you guys again reak soon! -Yura ♡
