Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A Dark Song (2017)

Sophia has prepared her body, rented a house, and hired an expert in order to perform a ritual. Joseph, the expert, is skeptical about her motives which makes him concerned about the ritual's success. Their wary relationship and the subterfuge that each of them employ with each other makes this a one-of-a-kind story.

This kept me off-balance and caused me to keep revising my predictions about what was going to happen. It's scary, dirty, cruel, and sad. While it's not without issues, the acting and mood are flawless.

B+
