Mara (I) (2018)
6/10
Flawed but Creepy
28 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
When a man is apparently murdered by his wife Helena (Rosie Fellner) during the night, the rookie criminal psychologist Dr. Kate Fuller (Olga Kurylenko) is assigned to investigate whether she should go to prison or to an institution. She promises to Helena´s little daughter Sophie that her mother would stay with her. But when the woman claims that a demon killed her husband during a sleep paralysis, Dr. Fuller sends her to an institution. However she decides to investigate the case further and discovers a creepy truth about an ancient demon that attacks people with sleep paralysis.

"Mara" is a flawed but creepy horror film, with a demon that attacks during the sleep and slightly recalls Freddy Krueger. The viewer startles many times and the greatest flaw is how easy and quickly Kate discovers the truth about the demon checking the documents Dougie had gathered and studied for a long time. The ambiguous conclusion is also great. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
