Pearl (Mia Goth) smiles with her bloodied fingers pressed to her lips and holds an axe as a spotlight shines on her
Life on a farm is hard. Despite all the great things about the countryside--the fresh air, the beauty of nature, the close-knit community--there are major downsides. For one thing, too much isolation can lead to loneliness and a twisted worldview. Remote places can also nurture a sense of lawlessness, providing cover for corruption and violent deeds. And, of course, there's all the manual labor required for daily survival, which leads to mental and physical exhaustion.
Deadly Blessing makes great use of its setting, especially when it comes to the murders, showing how everything on a farm can be weaponized by a person with no limits. One person is crushed by a tractor, and another is found hanging in the hayloft. The plot is a bit of a mess, and the ending is deliriously over the top. However, Deadly Blessing is worth seeing for Sharon Stone as well as for veteran horror actor Michael Berryman, best known for another Craven classic, The Hills Have Eyes.
7 'Black Sheep' Directed by Jonathan King Not to be confused with the Chris Farley movie of the same name, Black Sheep is a horror comedy from New Zealand about carnivorous sheep with a bite that can turn humans into half-sheep monsters. In the movie, Henry has traumatic childhood associations with the family sheep farm and can't wait to be rid of it.
Isolation is an Irish horror movie that serves up plenty of blood and slime. The tone of the movie is probably a bit too serious, given its"mutant calf" premise, and it could have been done with a bigger injection of fun. As it is, Isolation can be a bit grim, an approach that further highlights the bleakness of an isolated existence. However, the movie has plenty that will appeal to fans of gore and body horror.
The tragedy of Pearl is that the frustrated protagonist never realizes her dream of becoming a dancer and is doomed to stay in her small town forever. Ti West's previous film in the X trilogy is set several decades later and shows Pearl as an elderly woman still living in the same farmhouse with her husband. As far as the horrors of farm life go, getting stuck is a relatively mundane yet prevalent fear that many can relate to.
