The Revelation

De Openbaring
2022 / 96m - The Netherlands
Horror
3.0*/5.0*
The Revelation poster

Slowly but surely more COVID-based films are being released, with the horror genre being one of the obvious frontrunners. The Revelation offers a pretty novel take by not focusing on the epidemic specifically. Instead, it explores the fear and mania of an overprotective son who is trying to protect his mother.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't make it about COVID deniers, but the cause and symptoms of Jacob's fanatical behavior are pretty much the same. The performances are decent and the build-up is solid, the presentation is a bit cheap though and the ending, while cool in its own right, felt a bit detached from the rest of the film. Overall, I enjoyed it.
