Daggers Inn

 So, a british movie styled after Knives Out, which are enjoyable mystery flicks.

 

The question though, is this film as enjoyable?

 

Well, the jury is out on that.  I actually found it okay, Noshi found it totally rubbish.  And it seems the critics are in her camp as well.  The movie is about a pretty but strange woman arriving in a town "strangleheld" by the local wealthy law firm.  She is there to investigate the murder of her sister, and get revenge on who did it.

 

The woman has strange powers of suggestion, seemingly able to influence the mind of others.  And a bad mannered young partner in the law firm that offends everyone on every turn.  The rest are side characters that appear for no reason and whose actual roles are weird at times, the film feeling like a stageplay by an amateur company put on film.  And that somehow makes it incredibly fascinating, as you just want to see how it will play out, what weird director's desicions are made, and who will overact next.

 

So did I feel like I wasted about 1.5 hours of my life watching this?  Yes, because it is a bad movie, but also no, because it has that charm that just grips you and keeps you watching.  A true oddity!

 

And no answers on where she got her powers from...
