The Cellar

If you view it as a family horror film its works much better. Not on par with the Gate but still pretty good.

A slow but earned supernatural monster movie. Im an obvious sucker for any Native American horror movies and this does it great there’s the protagonist trying to match wits (and failing) with a medicine man and the whole feel of the movie feels like an old tale told around a campfire that is mistakenly told as an old Indian tale. Great wailing score and funny side characters. The actual monster is really well designed an spooky!

One of the few horror movies I’ve seen that doesn’t use NDN imagery and stereotypes in a way that is offensively stupid. “Why don’t you just let the thing loose and kill us whiteys?” “Because the thing kills Indians too” great monster design as well.

Dad of the Year? I think so. In fact, Man of the Year.
