Going into Pelverata I knew that it was an ‘eco-folk horror’. I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting from an ‘eco-folk horror’ movie, come to think of it I’m not even sure how to define what an ‘eco-folk horror’ movie actually is. Sitting here writing this review and not being the biggest fan of horror I was expecting the kind of thing that requires the lights to be left on. For the record this rule with horror movies only came about after watching Jason Eisner’s 2011 Hobo with a Shotgun at about 1am in a completely darkened room. Director Mark Lipkin didn’t deliver a bloodbath he delivered something way more cerebral that has left me with more questions than answers and a ‘what the heck did I just watch?’ leaving me with the feeling that left me questioning my intelligence. I was completely unfamiliar with the work of Director Mark Lipkin as well as Charley Hur and Carina Parsons. I’m interested to see what future movies they become involved in. Both Charley Hur and Carina Parsons gave good performances and I loved how Lipkin shot the interior tent scenes.
