Minore (2023) Review

On a steamy summer’s night in Greece sailor William (Davide Tucci – NAPOLEON, BARBARIANS), on shore leave, arrives in a quaint coastal village to search for his long-lost father. The town is full of music and dancing and in a bustling taverna, where the locals are drinking and dining, William takes a shine to waitress Aliki (Daphne Alexander – THE GHOST, THE FOUTH KIND). But after an enjoyable night, his quest quickly takes a sinister turn. A sudden mist engulfs the town and otherworldly monsters from the deep begin to invade, enticing the locals into the sea with strange and disturbing dreams…

When things turn freaky, it’s fighting not flirting that takes priority as William and Aliki join forces with the colourful locals – including bar owner, Pantelis (played by Eurovision contestant Christos Callow) – to battle the beasts. Everyone from musicians to bodybuilders, tourists to criminals and even a priest and a granny must fight the fearsome foes to save their tranquil town, with non-stop clashes and gratuitous gore all the way.

Renowned for his work on Guillermo del Toro’s CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, 1917, WEST SIDE STORY, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and more, co-writer/director Konstantinos Koutsoliotas brings his artistic brilliance to this unique, Greek, magnificent monster movie. local flavour, old-school style special effects set for its European premiere at FrightFest on Saturday 26 August and will also screen on Monday 28 August.

This is without doubt the best film I have seen in a long while. The mix of horror and comedy are intoxicating, the characters well-rounded and likeable. There really is nothing else out there like it. Its relaxed pace affords the viewer time to get to know and warm to the characters before their lives are impacted by the unexpected appearance of Lovecraftian tentacled airborne monsters in the film’s second half. To date I have seen several of the flick’s screening at this August’s FrightFest and this is by far the best of the bunch. Strongly recommended!

Screens Saturday 26th August 5.50pm and Monday 28th August 3.20pm

In Discovery Screen 3
