Total dross, boredom levels were only kept at bay by the annoying and utterly terrible soundtrack, sounded like Nordic medieval women chanting for a husband! firstly, IT IS NOT HORROR, its like a bad episode of "inside no9" oh and the film, had no start , middle, or end. acting was cardboard , script was that of an art school pretentious kid! oh its awful, honestly do not waste your time, or at least if you do watch it - give it a rating to show what it is really like , instead of the people trying to be melvyn brag!! IMdB needs a "0" option to rate this kind of drivel!!!!

Not quite what you might perceive, as this story doth deceive, not a demon vigilante but a trickster who's men anti. Crawling along at a snail's pace, voids not even the greatest leaps of faith could overcome, but there is an audience for this kind of batty nonsense I'm sure, though they probably have an axe to grind.

I love Hereditary and Midsommar and Lighthouse, but this is clearly not on same level. It has very bad rhythm, storytelling is way off, cast is completely uninvolving and their accents annoying. Music and sound were great, ending was somewhat rewarding, but it's done completely anticlimactically, and first hour or so were a true bore. Even if you are horror fan, you can safely skip this, unless you are completitionist.

If you like art-house horror and especially movies in the spirit of the blackcoats daughter or the vvitch, this is something for you. Amulet is mysterious, bizzare and definitely dark but also beatifully shot, engaging and well acted. Top notch. So do yourself a favor and ignore the reviews, some people just like when their horror is a jumpscare filled joke.

Guys...stop. Having a bunch of well-shot footage of forests and obnoxious experimental music doesn't make something a high quality horror film on par with things like Hereditary and The Lighthouse. If that surface level stuff is all you think it takes to make a movie intelligent and masterfully crafted, sorry, but you're not as clever as you're trying to make yourselves sound. There are many things that directors like Aster and Eggers do that make their movies rise far above ones like this, but let me just pick one, and arguably the most important one, THE PERFORMANCES OF THE CHARACTERS. You have to be absolutely kidding me if you're going to sit there trying to tell me that the actors in Amulet were anywhere close to well-directed, maximum effort performances from people like Willem Dafoe and Toni Collette. They aren't just on different floors, they're not even in the same building. I've seen much, much worse than Amulet, and I wouldn't even go as far as to call it a bad film, but I can't think of a single moment where Tomas or Magda made me think "wow, what a great performance". Hell, I can't even think of one that made me care about either of them. They're dreary characters in a dreary setting acting out dreary motions to fill up time until the entire effects budget is blown in the last 10 minutes, and yes, the director is obviously TRYING to convey something poignant with this unconventional story, but they just aren't selling it. "Weird + good cinematography" does not automatically equal a great film. "Having an artistic vision + good intentions" does not automatically equal a great film. It's a great effort, but it's not a great film. Wait five years to see if anyone's still talking about it, or even remembers that it existed, if you're still unsure about that.
