Entwined

Entwined speaks through old laws and old fears to profoundly contemporary anxieties about the environment and how it can be wilfully misunderstood by those in power, a fatal error at any moment in history

Rather than cramming the movie with predictable killings from beginning to end, Entwined is an alluring story about the type of horror that sneaks up on people who make the mistake of being fooled by outward appearances.

Entwined often spins an intriguing web even if at times it gets caught up in it.

This lyrical supernatural tale, built on equal degrees of doomed romance and malevolent fairy-tale horror, merits credit for refusing to stick with any particular genre's conventions.

Part fairy tale part horror story. Unfortunately those two do not add up to a good film.

Minos Nikolakakis' tale of lore and mythos in a Greek village is pat and staid.

Making his feature debut as both director and co-writer, Minos Nikolakakis conjures a spooky fairy tale that makes much ado about nature.

Co-writer and director Minos Nikolakakis generates an intriguing mix of spookiness, eroticism and poignancy, even though it isn't especially hard to see where the story is heading.

The script playfully spins ideas of God, mother nature, humanism and romance into a heady brew.

Entwined, from director Minos Nikolakakis, succeeds in its story, a slow burn that is hypnotizing, piquing the interest of its viewers.
