Decemberdike # 18 The Axiom (2018)
A well thought out indie horror that's nicely acted but sadly let down by budgetary constraints. Taking in portals in the woods and malevolent spirits there's the strains of a good film here but i also felt it didn't quite work despite being on the whole well acted.
Following a very talky opening we get into a bit of Lovecraftian cosmic horror utilising dimensions and so forth but the ending felt a slight let down. Think a cross between The excellent 2017 film The Ritual and the well received The Void from 2016 with less budget and not as much gore.
Worth a re-watch.
