Never having heard about this 2022 Dutch horror movie titled "Moloch" before now as I happened to stumble upon it, so I didn't know what I was in for here. However, it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was essentially sufficient for me to opt to sit down and watch it.
Writers Daan Bakker and Nico van den Brink managed to put together a horror movie that definitely had an interesting atmosphere to it. However, the storyline was just too slow paced for my liking, so I wasn't getting a particular big kick out of watching the movie.
I was initially drawn to the movie from its cover/poster, because it definitely had a good atmosphere to it. And yeah, while something like that was in the movie, the storyline was just too slow paced for my preference. Not enough of anything exciting or worthwhile happened throughout the course of the 99 minutes that the movie ran for, and that made for a somewhat prolonged and somewhat boring viewing experience.
The acting performances in the movie were okay, but as the narrative also was, then the acting was also sort of sluggish and slow paced. So again, you're not in for something thrilling or over-the-top.
"Moloch", from director Nico van den Brink, is worth a single viewing, but that is also just about it. Because there is not enough contents for a second viewing. In fact, the movie just barely scraped by with enough contents for the first viewing.
My rating of "Moloch" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
