Her Will Be Done

[gentle music] There's something particularly engrossing and unsettling about the isolation at the heart of the new French horror film, Her Will Be Done, the second film from French director Julia Kowalski.

The film follows Nawascha, a young woman who feels trapped in her small village, suffocating under the expectations of her family, the conservatism of her community, and what appears to be a supernatural curse passed down from generations before.

At first it seems like a fairly typical art house folk horror film, but it slowly becomes something much more layered and, well, complicated.

It isn't trying to show off.

Every creative choice feels in service of Nawascha's experience and the oppressive world surrounding her.

As we approach spooky season, while you're revisiting some of your favorite horror classics, Her Will Be Done is a perfect film to add to that watch list.

A hidden gem that feels like something you'd usually have to dig a little deeper to find.

My mess is

So those are the two big movies.

Also, there's a movie called Her Will Be Done.

Bruce Perky will cover it.

Does it open on Friday? Technically, in a way, because it's a new movie, but I think it had a release several weeks ago or whenever in theaters.

Very small release, but it will come out on VOD October 2nd.

So technically, again, Digger, beware Boyuna.

And Her Will Be Done.

These are three movies that we're covering this episode.

I'm not going to discuss it at all here.

I'll let you know we did watch it or we are watching it called Her Will Be Done.

by the director of I Saw the Face of the Devil, which we really loved about, well, we liked quite a bit, you know, three or four years ago.

And who knows, we'll have some other stuff as well.
