Cobblers' Lot

About This Movie

Cobblers' Lot presents this strange, atmospheric blend of horror and fairy tale, with its roots in Hungarian folklore. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the tension to build as we follow the shoemaker brothers and their surreal rivalry for the princess. It's quite abstract, almost dreamlike at times, with visuals that linger in your mind. The practical effects are noteworthy, adding a tactile quality that really draws you in. You can feel the weight of the fable's themes of envy and ambition. It’s not your typical horror fare—it’s unsettling in a subtle way, exploring darker human impulses. The performances are nuanced, enhancing the twisted, folkloric vibe, making it distinctive within the anthology it’s a part of.
