Horror october #7

A Dark Song kept me absolutely transfixed for most of it. I love to see a modern horror movie that does entirely its own thing. A very simple story: A woman hires an expert in the occult to do a ritual to let her speak to her dead son. And when I say "occult", I don't mean a ouija board and holding hands around a table with cheap CGI: I mean locking themselves in a house in the middle of nowhere for months doing some serious metaphysical self-searching black magic OCCULT. At least that's what he tells her they're doing, but of course they may just be two not-entirely-stable people driving each other mad... Very simple, and very intense. The ending could probably have been better, but damn, the trip there is worth it.
