Author-director John Pata’s Black Mould is a horror movie – however it’s additionally a meditation on the trauma that we stock with us. The movie is a personality piece the place we get to grasp the characters and peel away at their current to find what they’ve hidden from their previous.
Agnes Albright and Andrew Bailes are Brooke and Tanner, photographers who’re on a mission to (illegally) {photograph} derelict buildings. The pair include ball-busting CJ (Caito Aase), a snarky driver who’s at all times able to roll if a fast getaway is required. Their closing cease is an deserted navy facility that requires a little bit extra time than common. Dropped off by CJ, Brooke and Tanner go about their enterprise. Nonetheless, as soon as deep throughout the constructing they stumble throughout a homeless man (Jeremy Holm). Paranoid to the acute, the person assaults the pair and takes them hostage. Nonetheless, the secrets and techniques throughout the constructing’s previous quickly start to have an effect on Brooke and the traumatic dying of her father begins to bubble to the floor because the trio start to activate one another.
Anchored by a wonderful efficiency from Agnes Albright, Black Mould has the requisite scares, however it additionally works exceptionally effectively as a drama. It’s a chamber piece and a personality examine that makes use of the bodily confines of its location to delve deep into psyche of the protagonists. Albright is perhaps the lead, however everybody throughout the small solid impresses by delivering nuanced turns. Confined to actual and closed places, you would possibly suppose that Black Mould would lack visible dexterity – however the movie seems to be nice. Decrepit buildings by no means seemed so lovely. It has has some excellently realised sequences of nightmare horror and one in explicit makes me hope that Pata would possibly resolve to deal with a werewolf film someday!
Greater than only a fright pic, Black Mould is a formidable debut from John Pata. It’s a movie that delivers on each stage and reveals that when it’s executed effectively, the horror style affords greater than scares and gore.
