Gwen shares some similarities with the The Witch mostly with the slow burn aspects and remote landscape and time early time period. I wasn’t a fan of The Witch and didn’t think much of this film.

RLJ Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post.
The opinions I share are my own.
PLOT SYNOPSIS |
|
Gwen (ELEANOR WORTHINGTON-COX) is a young girl whose life seems to be collapsing around her. Struggling with her mother’s (MAXINE PEAKE) mysterious illness, her father’s absence and a group of angry villagers threatening to take her farm, Gwen must find the strength to guide her family through the darkness. But as a malevolent presence begins to take grip of her home, it becomes apparent there is a greater evil that may be too strong to overcome. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 2.0/5 |
|
This release comes with a matted, title-embossed, slip cover. Features include Interviews with Maxine Peake (12:14) and Eleanor Worthington-Cox (8:29), a Behind the Scenes Gallery and a Photo Gallery. |
VIDEO – 4.0/5 |
| RLJ Entertainment releases Gwen onto Blu-ray presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Although this is a very dark looking movie, with many scenes happening at night, the picture still has good detail mainly on the close-up shots but the film is pretty devoid of color, so not always the prettiest looking film, which was by design of course. |
AUDIO – 4.0/5 |
| The movie comes with a standard but effective DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Dialogue comes through the center speaker with fine clarity but where the track excels is in the surrounds, especially noticeable during a storm sequence where the front and rear channels impressively outputs the rain and wind. |
OVERALL – 2.25/5 |
|
Gwen shares some similarities with the The Witch mostly with the slow burn aspects and remote landscape and time early time period. I wasn’t a fan of The Witch and didn’t think much of this film, though the cinematography was top-notch and acting, when there is dialogue, wasn’t bad either, but there was little story that captured by attention. |
