The Pond Reviews

"I didn't like this movie. The acting is really bad but the visuals are good. It's a very aesthetically pleasing film. Although it does do things that so many other movies have done like the creepy animal masks, that trope has been done to death lately, I just saw this in another movie that came out this year. The story is mildly interesting, but by the end i didn't really care. Again the imagery is really nice. I don't want to say it's all style but no substance, I think that harsh, I just didn't like the story or how it was executed and the subpar acting didn't help either." - WankerReviews

"Definitely not a movie for everybody, really makes you think afterwards. I saw the trailer and recognized symbols that intrigued me right away since I'm interested into occult-like movies. Now that I've watched it, I somewhat grasped the idea, but I'll have to watch it again in order to fully understand the ending. Liked the portrayal of the seven princes of Hell. Some of the acting was a bit over the top, though." - ml-32271

"I was torn between watching this and skipping it because of the polarized reviews, however I seemed to like it. If you're expecting a horror film with jump scares and gore - this definitely isn't your cup of tea! Maybe I'm being way too subjective cause I like films where the atmosphere dominates. But, it could get confusing at times, like when you finally think you understand what's going on, you're proven wrong. I recommend it if you're looking for a mind-bender with a deep meaning." - Jessie-Anderson

There were two moments in this movie that I simply adored and I did everything possible in order to hang onto them in order to make this movie better than it actually is. But in the end, it comes off as pretentious and not as elegant as it might hope to be. - gothic-fiction

This film left a really strange impression on me. At one point I even stopped following the plot and just immersed myself in the atmosphere and visuals. Sort of like listening to a symphony. Gives of a similar feel to Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice. Didn't really understand the idea of it but the eerie feeling stuck with me even after the movie ended. - therealfelixj

The Pond premiered on February 23, 2021.
