Amulet

It’s an evocative, confident debut, recalling the metaphorical horror of Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook or Babak Anvari’s Under The Shadow...

...a gothic horror-thriller with a lot on its mind about gender and the superficial norms that surround it.

...does a good job of alchemising drear into fear.

...the movie casts a grim sort of spell; a brooding, stifled dread that creeps in quietly from the margins, and lingers long after the last triumphant frame.

...a fascinating, nightmarish debut from Garai.
