The onset of Folk Horror with its rich heritage of tales, mysteries and events from countries is a fountainhead for art, film and literature. Many like my own which is Canada has failed to use the huge amount of material that abounds likely out of prejudice or frankly poor judgment for the all-important Box office appeal. That is why it was such a pleasure to view this Greek-produced monster/comedy film Minore (2023).
This wonderfully photographed tapestry of terror by Konstantinos Koutsoliotas’ is a visual and auditory feast reminiscent of Cronos (1992) by Guillermo Del Toro. It’s summer on the Mediterranean coast when strange fog descends on a laid-back port town in Greece, causing its inhabitants to experience visions causing them to sleepwalk into the sea. Turns out that small, multi-limbed monsters reminiscent of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu have invaded the town. These little beasties fly, grab, tear off heads, and...

I’m not sure I was quite prepared for how strange Minore is. That is definitely a good thing though. I will keep my review as spoiler-free as possible because it really is the best way to see the movie.
That said, it doesn’t give anything away to say that a mysterious sea creature is lurking in the sea of a nearby town ready to invade. Its unsuspecting occupants are an unusual group of tourists, musicians, body-builders and the elderly who must fight off this creature.
After about thirty minutes of Minore, I think it’s fair to say not a whole lot had happened and I didn’t realise at that point that it was a comedy. I’m not sure if this is because it...

Minore
A little film with a lot of heart which still finds room for unspeakable cyclopean monstrosities from the outer realms, Minore is one of the hidden treasures of this year’s Frightfest, and a natural crowd-pleaser. Set in a tiny Greek fishing community, it follows William, a sailor in search of his long lost father, who is welcomed into the local community just as it finds itself – and possibly the world – on the brink of extinction. just before the festival, I met director Konstantinos Koutsoliotas and his producer (and wife) Elizabeth E Schuch for a chat. They were both glowing with excitement about the unexpected success of their work.
“It started with a monster,” explains Elizabeth. “We were at a festival in Greece, showing our very, very first tiny no-budget movie, and we looked out at the beautiful bay and thought, ‘What would happen if a...

Our friends at Raven Banner have picked up the worldwide rights for the Greek horror-comedy, Minore. It is set to have it's European premiere at FrightFest in London, England, at the end of the month. ... a Greek seaside port is invaded by mysterious tentacled creatures from the ocean floor. It's up to a small gang of misfits made up of musicians, a sailor, a bodybuilder, and one grannie to save the city from this Lovecraftian terror from the deep.
