Not the worst movie. To date, many films have been shot, the plot of which is based on stories about children who look cute angels, but in fact are messengers of the devil. All these films can be divided into two groups depending on how quickly the viewer can understand who is who. In some films, this immediately becomes clear, and in others, the viewer is given some time to make his own conclusions.
The film “Servants of Twilight” I would take to the second group, because almost to the end of the film it is impossible to say exactly who this child really is. Either he is an innocent victim or a messenger of the devil. This is what distinguishes this film from other similar creations. For example, in the films “Whisper” (Whisper) and “Omen” (The Omen) from the first minutes it is clear what the main character is. Fans of these films do not need to rush to criticize me, because firstly, I do not condemn “Whisper” and “Omen”, and secondly, they are also interesting in their own way.
In addition, the advertising of the film plays an important role. Based on the fact that “Servants of Twilight” is watched mainly by fans of the work of Dean Kunz, it seems that this film lacks advertising. Accordingly, the reviews are more like a comparative analysis of the film and the book. Interesting. I used to think movie reviews looked a little different. Almost always a book is more interesting than a movie. This is true of many works, if someone did not notice.
For those viewers who believe that this film is more thriller than horror, I will clarify. This film combines two genres. This is also stated on this website. You just need to carefully read all the information, and not rush to conclusions.
In general, “Servants of Twilight” is not the worst film about small monsters in the image of harmless babies. Just “Servants of Twilight” is not a commercial film, but not worse than similar films.
