Entwined (2019) User Reviews

It's average

[fatamorgana-40208 · 5/10 · 11 September 2021]

I've seen better and I've seen worse. Extremely slow burn with no real surprises at all. It's a movie that is filmed nicely but plot-wise is very thin. It's part of that new wave of eco/horror movies. It might have some appeal to a Wiccan but beyond that...it is what it is.

But I did appreciate the subtly of the approach. The ending was classier than most of these eco/horror tales.

Entwined possesses initial potential, but after establishing the concept, the ending twist is predictable and unimaginative

I recently watched the Greek film 🇬🇷 Entwined (2019) on Prime. The plot centers around a doctor who relocates to a remote city to start anew. He encounters a woman with a peculiar skin condition, sparking an obsession to help her. However, as he delves into her situation, it becomes clear that things are not as they seem.

Directed by Minos Nikolakakis (Ensemble), the film stars Prometheus Aleifer (The Two Faces of January), Anastasia Rafaella Konidi (Holy Boom), Kostas Laskos (Tailor), and Aleka Toumazatou (Stone Years).

The original and intriguing storyline is executed well, with authentic acting and a convincingly portrayed special effects for the skin condition. However, the relationship and sex scenes feel unrealistic, particularly considering the doctor's profession, and the latter made me uncomfortable. Unfortunately, once the film establishes its concept, it plateaus and becomes straightforward and predictable.

In conclusion, Entwined possesses initial potential, but after establishing the concept, the ending twist is predictable and unimaginative. I would give it a score of 4.5/10 but still recommend seeing it once if you're seeking something different.

Horrible script

[elenakila-389-945411 · 2/10 · 15 September 2020]

The script is shallow, one-dimensional and highly predictable. The atmosphere he tries to create from the very good photography, camera and acting is totally lost from the plot that does not exist. A yolo fairy tale

Nice idea

What a terrible terrible movie. It looks like a amateur student project for a secondary film school where the student wouldn't have pass the class. Terrible directing and editing. Horribly idiotic dialogues. Poor acting. I'm not familiar with the "actors" so I had to look them up to find out that they are working actors (poor Greece). Fair enough idea but terribly produced. It looks like smt out a Shyamalan movie. With a budget and some talent it would have been good.

A young talentless doctor arrives in some nameless village. He looks as if he came out from the 70s but it's probably due to budget and idiocy reasons since the movie is set in the present. He discovers a girl that lives with an old man in the woods and wants to help her. He is so bazaar and acting like a 12 year old boy. Not a 35 year old young man as he is. Poor writing again. Good god the way he delivers his lines, like a bad waiter that spills drinks all over you. The mysterious girl in another anachronistic way speaks as if she were autistic and he wants to help her. Trying to do so he finds himself entrapped inside the woods with her. Is she really a young fragile creatures she seems to be or smt else?

By the way the 9,10 ratings are probably the family members of the cast and crew. Trust me. It makes spice world Oscar worthy.
