Lovely Molly
Directed by Eduardo Sanchez
A former addict begins to have strange episodes after moving into her childhood home in this relentlessly disturbing ghost story from BLAIR WITCH PROJECT director Eduardo Sanchez. But where that film relied on off-screen atmosphere to create dread, here Sanchez serves plenty of on-screen scares, resulting in a film that follows in the footsteps of graphic shockers like THE ENTITY. Richly exploring the parallels between psychosis, addiction and demonic possession, LOVELY MOLLY is a gripping look at how the traumas of the past come back to haunt us. Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.

Really well-done film. A bit of a slow-burn, but the tension and anxiety it produced was absolutely palpable. Gretchen Lodge and Johnny Lewis (RIP), were phenomenal. The way they blended PTSD from childhood abuse/trauma, mental illness, drug addiction, and hauntings/possessions was so brilliantly done, you still had no idea what was real versus what was all in Molly's head by the end. Not to mention the twist towards the end was absolutely epic. Also a big thanks to Fioletta's review for pointing out the Orobus reference. Definitely worth watching.
I really enjoyed this one. This was a bit of a slow burn, but the anxiety and fear that this one invokes was absolutely palpable. The actors did a superb job, especially Gretchen Lodge and the late, great Johnny Lewis, RIP. They do such a excellent job of blending PTSD & childhood trauma, drug abuse, mental health issues, and haunting/possessions to the point, where you still don't know what was real versus what was only in Molly's head. Plus there is an excellent twist towards the end, that I did not see coming. Also a big thanks to Fioletta for pointing out the Orobas reference. Makes a lot of sense looking back as Molly slowly spiraled into madness or possession. I really enjoyed this, despite how unsettling it truly was.
slow but good movie about mental illness
thank you to the person who explained the horse symbolic ofnthis film, which gave it all sense.
Don’t waste your time it’s creepy. The characters seemed interesting, but the plot leaves so much depth in the ending is meaningless.
