Poetry and the Gods

About This Movie

So, 'Poetry and the Gods' is this intriguing blend of fantasy and horror set against a backdrop of late 19th-century despair. The atmosphere is thick with melancholy—poverty and disease loom large, which adds a sort of grim color to everything. Marcia, our main character, mutters these strange poems in her sleep, and it feels like there's this haunting connection between her words and the world around her. The pacing is a bit slow, but it builds tension artfully, leading to these surreal moments that really play with your mind. The practical effects they used are pretty impressive for a low-budget flick, and the performances have this raw edge. It's not typical horror fare, and that’s what sets it apart.
