Years ago, Eduardo Sánchez and Dan Myrick redefined the horror genre with their film The Blair Witch Project, establishing that it’s possible to conjure up the most horrifying atmosphere even without the help of digital effects and gallons of fake blood. Lovely Molly brings this method to perfection. By combining a classic mise en scène with the documentary aesthetic of an amateur video camera, the director has created a powerful portrait of a lonely woman who must face fears rising out of the darkness and from her own obsessed mind. Soon after the wedding, newlyweds Molly and Tim move into her parents’ old house. With her husband always traveling, Molly is forced to spend most of her evenings alone, comforted by rare visits from her older sister or a glass of good wine. What was initially an idyll, however, soon changes into a claustrophobic battle for survival after Molly realizes that she is not actually alone. In the shadowy recesses of the empty manor lurks something that should have vanished long ago – specters of death and a forgotten past that begin revealing the darkest corners of Molly’s disturbed psyche.
