review by Paul J. Baio for MK ULTRA Magazine
The Damned is a 2025 British psychological folk horror film and the first theatrical release of the year, exploring the dark consequences of a 19th century remote fishing outpost crew’s decision to abandon a sinking ship’s crew, which ultimately leads to a devastating downward spiral of superstition and paranoia.
While the conclusion was a tad underwhelming, the lead-up was engaging. The film effectively crafts a suspenseful dark and creepy ambiance.
