Before The Fire 2020 Movie Review
I really enjoyed this. Certain portions (particularly backstory) were left to the imagination – a la Hitchcock’s Pscho or Jaws style–and it worked…very well.
The story was well laid out, but the audience wasn’t spoon-fed (which I appreciated). The acting was really convincing. Cinematography was great. It painted an ominous picture, did a really good job capturing the fear and despair, and this movie was shot several years ago–before the current pandemic.
I realized while watching that I found myself tensed up in anticipation. I don’t want to drop a spoiler so I can’t even comment on my favorite scene.
I was surprised this wasn’t rating higher–until I pulled up the dispersal and noticed a troll was dropping 1-star ratings. Not sure who peed in the troll’s Wheaties, but he/she needs to get over it. This was a strong offering from an indie film. I will see it again.
