couldnt agree more..ive never seen anything quite like this film.i have a general rule of thumb-if im still thinking about a film a couple of days after watching it then its a good film.it hooked me from the first second and never let go and that ending just came out of nowhere,its like a journey through madness into a pit of despair ending in perfect clarity....10/10
thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts Kevin. You are so right about the ending. It was such a surprise, especially when you think everything she had been working for was totally lost.
I loved this movie and will watch it again soon! I know I missed a lot. One thing that was interesting was, because the spell manifestations took a long time, I started to doubt him, his intentions and abilities. As she did too. The script kept us on numerous edges!
loved, loved , loved this film Abramelin is an arduous ritual, and the beauty that in the end, she asked for the power to forgive, once she is granted her HGA's presence, just stunningly beautiful moving film, exploring knowledge, occult, and loss/healing
Great movie! Watched it for the first time a few days ago. I have a slightly different take on the plot that seemed to jump out at me; it's about guilt, revenge and forgiveness. The fact that Sophia was revenge for her sons murder and then Joseph said, "You don't think I done it, do you?" That coupled with his alcoholism and temper tells me he's trying to forget/deal with that incident and others from his past. It was Sophia's guardian angel that brought him to her and her guardian angel is giving signs to Sophia by injuring Joseph because revenge is what she wishes for. Joseph then goes on to die from his knife would which is again what Sophia wished for. Once she asks the guardian angel that she'd like the power to forgive we then see Sophia giving Joseph a water burial. I could be wrong but that's what jumped out at me. Very much enjoyed the movie!
Just got a new sub! I love smaller channels like yours, especially when its the same subject material I'm interested in as well! Seems obvious, but not many YT's out there who have a vested interest in this sort of stuff, and are legitimate in their knowledge as well. Well done! While this movie left out some key elements of the Abra-Melin Operation (for the necessity of viewer's own safety I think!), it was the most accurate occult film in...well, probably forever!
Thanks so much Charles! As an indie author, I love finding indie movies and bringing them to people's attention. I also agree that the occult rituals and incantations were extremely well done and had that strong ring of believability around them.
Great review. I loved this movie. If magic were real this is how it would be performed. None of your pentacles, a brief chant, and a demon/spirit appears. It is a gruelling process of purification and following a strict method to get results.
If you know real occultism sometimes it can actually be this slow of a process depending what you're doing obviously and if it's legitimate. A great movie on it's own but a fucking fantastic occult movie
You are so right Nicholas. Hollywood tends to give the movie goers a skewered view of magic etc. A few words, a diagram and boom! Instant results which isn't the case at all. Glad you enjoyed the movie too 😀
"Mary Poppins movie" doesn't sound like it would fit a film like this haha but that's a good way to think of it! As you described this movie, I loved that you were telling us what you thought along the way and how much opportunity there was for you to guess at what would happen. I found myself guessing along with you, especially because it's such a different idea. Now I'm excited to have a few ideas of my own on how it could have gone! You've got me in suspense about the ending! I just PM'd you to find out what it is!
Lol I'm sorry I refused to provide a spoiler in our private conversation Christie. I never mind doing that if the movie is so so but this is one of those rare gems where you want all your feelings that have built up during the movie to be intact to enjoy the ending at it's best. A bit like enjoying a good meal then wondering how good the dessert will taste :)
I agree an almost flawless film. Being an occultist I loved it , but using all the rooms for the circles , and demons in the basement , 8 months of food would mean They would have to rent the house next door , just to keep the food in hahahaha
Ooo this does sound intriguing! Thanks for letting me know this movie doesn't have an Amber Alert! :) But I do have to tell you a funny thing that happened - the sun went down while I was watching this, and it became rather dark in the house - just when you reached the part about it getting creepier and how the last 30-40 minutes were really frightening, the phone rang next to me and boy, did I scream! LOL I guess that's a compliment to your story-telling - I was so absorbed in what you were saying, even a simple thing like the phone ringing startled me! Great review!
Thanks so much Amber. Talk about amazing timing with the phone going off lol. I really didn't think my reviews were scarey as such, I let the movies do that but it must be the premise. It is a thoroughly enjoyable movie Amber. Go and bake a cake during the last 30 mins and get hubby to call you back in for the finale, non scarey and dfefinitely stunning :)
OMG I just realised how sexist that cake baking thing sounded after I posted it Amber. Of course what I meant was, keep yourself occupied till the scarey bit (and there's really only one ) is over and then get hubby to give you the all clear to come in and enjoy the ending which is visually spectacular and non scarey :)
Minor detail, but I think the thing she thinks Solomon has taken is the photograph of her son, not the toy. Later the photo reappears in a pool of Solomon's vomit. Best horror film since Lovely Molly.
If this video is done with your new webcam, it looks AMAZING! Much sharper, no more lag! Now I am curious though, you record your videos in 720p? Because there is a slight bit of a blur. I know you're definitely exporting the video in 720p. It may just be on my end, in which case, that's totally fine :)
Thanks DragoNate. Yes I've started using the new cam, I was blown away with the clarity as soon as I plugged it in. I noticed the slight blur too. I didn't change the video settings so I must remember to change to 1080p which is the new cam resolution.
Thanks DragoNate, since the new cam is 1080p I have been so used to using the old one set at 720p I had forgotten to adjust. Thanks for reminding me that the better quality does take a bit longer :)
That's a really good question Lisa. I think she wants answers to some profound questions. I think the producers ldeliberately left this ambigious so the audience would have something to talk about...like now lol
Wow, that's a really interesting question Laura. The way the movie plays out you certainly could come to that conclusion. I think she was channeling a lot of her anger and bitterness towards him which is why the spell was so difficult .
it clearly shows he had nothing to do with it, it was 'teens' and she asked for power to forgive bc her anger prevented her from having peace and healing, her worldview opened up when she saw her HGA and she spiritually evolved beyond petty revenge and human weaknesses
Your background music is too loud. K? I'm an American trying to understand you through the great accent so the music is distracting. Great review though. I just watched this last night.
Thanks for the feedback Starr and I apologise for the volume. I hope the Aussie accent isn't too difficult for you lol. Thanks for the kind words on my review. I hope you enjoyed the m,ovie as well😀
The Dark Realm Diaries. Definitely understand you. Just some words here and there. And I am still processing how I feel about it. But I THINK I liked it. On note of spiritual movies that turn out unexpectedly, can you review Frailty???
This movie was terrible. I absolutely love slow burns with a great pay off. But this movie was boring and uneventful for me. Though the acting was good I couldn't get invested with the characters of anything they were doing. I wanted to love this movie. It seemed to be everything I like in a horror movie but it just missed the mark for me miserably. But of course this is just my personal opinion.
eerrmmm yeaahh..good movie..but, Reiki symbols have nothing to do with Abramelin ritual..and, i've never seen 5 circles in this ritual also, maybe i'm wrong but you use just one circle..
The Dark Realm Diaries. ..still like this movie, atmosphere is perfect. and also i will do Abramelin ritual in future..hoping that everything will be ok..no stabbing stuff an similar lol!

This is a superb character driven movie you must see Darkrealmers.
What a beauty.
loved, loved , loved this film

I finally got around to tracking this movie down and it was just as good as you said!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Travis. It was a great movie :)

Such a powerful, deep movie.
iT CERTAINLY WAS tOM.oNE OF THE BEST INDIE FILMS i'VE SEEN FOR A LONG TIME :)
If you know real occultism sometimes it can actually be this slow of a process depending what you're doing obviously and if it's legitimate. A great movie on it's own but a fucking fantastic occult movie
You are so right Nicholas. Hollywood tends to give the movie goers a skewered view of magic etc. A few words, a diagram and boom! Instant results which isn't the case at all. Glad you enjoyed the movie too 😀
The Dark Realm Diaries. The Rite kinda did it both ways LOL
"Mary Poppins movie" doesn't sound like it would fit a film like this haha but that's a good way to think of it!

A bit like enjoying a good meal then wondering how good the dessert will taste :)
Now there's extra massive super bonus suspense! :P
lol that it is. We spend so much time emotionally investing in these characters that you really want to enjoy the ending on every level :)
I agree an almost flawless film.
Being an occultist I loved it , but using all the rooms for the circles , and demons in the basement , 8 months of food would mean They would have to rent the house next door , just to keep the food in hahahaha
Great recommendation! Thanks!
Thanks Jason. I think you'll enjoy this one :)
The Dark Realm Diaries. I got about 3mins into your review and immediately watched it then. It's great. Cheers again and great review!
You've made my day Jason! Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie.
Good review fella. Enjoyed.
Thanks David. I'm so glad you enjoyed my review.
great review well done mate.
Thanks so much Rob. I'm so glad you enjoyed my review😀
'the witch' would be a good review
Thanks for that recommendation Rob. I've heard some good things about that movie and will certainly check it out. The trailer looks very good :)
'the devils candy' is also awesome.
Thanks for that recommendation Rob. I will add that to my watch and review list
Ooo this does sound intriguing! Thanks for letting me know this movie doesn't have an Amber Alert! :) But I do have to tell you a funny thing that happened - the sun went down while I was watching this, and it became rather dark in the house - just when you reached the part about it getting creepier and how the last 30-40 minutes were really frightening, the phone rang next to me and boy, did I scream!

It is a thoroughly enjoyable movie Amber. Go and bake a cake during the last 30 mins and get hubby to call you back in for the finale, non scarey and dfefinitely stunning :)
LOL Hubby will love your cake baking suggestion! Never underestimate your abilities as a storyteller, Mike! :)
OMG I just realised how sexist that cake baking thing sounded after I posted it Amber. Of course what I meant was, keep yourself occupied till the scarey bit (and there's really only one ) is over and then get hubby to give you the all clear to come in and enjoy the ending which is visually spectacular and non scarey :)
LOL I took it as you meant it, no worries! But I am strangely in the mood for cake now... ;)
I won't suggest this too often Amber or your hubby might end up grossly overweight lol :)
I want to rewatch it now :D
Yep! it's THAT kind of movie. So many layers you're sure to pick up even more on a second viewing. Enjoy!
Minor detail, but I think the thing she thinks Solomon has taken is the photograph of her son, not the toy. Later the photo reappears in a pool of Solomon's vomit. Best horror film since Lovely Molly.
Thanks for pointing this out to the Darkrealmers Kazak23. I must admit, even I missed this so I will look for it on another viewing. Well spotted!
Background music is too loud. Review and movie were great.
Thanks for the feedback. I was still a newbie with my editing software back then. I've made sure my music stays right in the background now lol
If this video is done with your new webcam, it looks AMAZING! Much sharper, no more lag!
Now I am curious though, you record your videos in 720p? Because there is a slight bit of a blur. I know you're definitely exporting the video in 720p.
It may just be on my end, in which case, that's totally fine :)
Thanks DragoNate. Yes I've started using the new cam, I was blown away with the clarity as soon as I plugged it in. I noticed the slight blur too. I didn't change the video settings so I must remember to change to 1080p which is the new cam resolution.
Yes, you can definitely try that! Keep in mind that at at 1080p resolution, it may take longer to edit and render once you finish editing.
Thanks DragoNate, since the new cam is 1080p I have been so used to using the old one set at 720p I had forgotten to adjust. Thanks for reminding me that the better quality does take a bit longer :)
good review, you really need a better microphone though
Thanks for watching Michael. Yep, a better mic is definitely on the shopping list :)
What do you think the You Know Who says?
That's a really good question Lisa. I think she wants answers to some profound questions. I think the producers ldeliberately left this ambigious so the audience would have something to talk about...like now lol
**SPOILERS ALERT** I'm confused about something. Do you think Solomon was involved in Sofia's kid death? The power of forgiveness request puzzled me.
Wow, that's a really interesting question Laura. The way the movie plays out you certainly could come to that conclusion. I think she was channeling a lot of her anger and bitterness towards him which is why the spell was so difficult .
it clearly shows he had nothing to do with it, it was 'teens' and she asked for power to forgive bc her anger prevented her from having peace and healing, her worldview opened up when she saw her HGA and she spiritually evolved beyond petty revenge and human weaknesses

The Dark Realm Diaries. Definitely understand you. Just some words here and there. And I am still processing how I feel about it. But I THINK I liked it. On note of spiritual movies that turn out unexpectedly, can you review Frailty???
BTW the look of the... very large thing we see at the end... I personally hated the look of it
Yes it was a bit intimidating wasn't it lol
This movie was terrible. I absolutely love slow burns with a great pay off. But this movie was boring and uneventful for me. Though the acting was good I couldn't get invested with the characters of anything they were doing. I wanted to love this movie. It seemed to be everything I like in a horror movie but it just missed the mark for me miserably. But of course this is just my personal opinion.
This is more of a recap and not so much a review.
eerrmmm yeaahh..good movie..but, Reiki symbols have nothing to do with Abramelin ritual..and, i've never seen 5 circles in this ritual also, maybe i'm wrong but you use just one circle..
+Aleksandar Marciš wow this is so interesting thanks for sharing that fact with us Aleksander.
No problem :D
+Aleksandar Marciš I really appreciate when viewers provide facts for their fellow Darkrealmers and I also enjoy learning something new from the 🎥
The Dark Realm Diaries.
..still like this movie, atmosphere is perfect.
and also i will do Abramelin ritual in future..hoping that everything will be ok..no stabbing stuff an similar lol!
+Aleksandar Marciš Please don't get yourself stabbed Alexander, I need all the viewers I can get lol
What?
You say straight away a lot!! 😏 Yes it was a very interesting, well acted movie.
