Aged

 "Aged" is a 2023 horror thriller that was directed and written by Anubys Lopaz. It stars Carla Kidd, Morgan Boss-Maltais and Dave McClain. It was filmed in Cat Spring, Texas. The production is AWW Entertainment and Harrow House Films. 

A young woman named Veronica applies for a job position, and is interviewed by Henry Bloom whose mother needs care and help. Veronica agrees to stay at the isolated house looking after Mrs Bloom, a wheelchair bound elderly woman with dementia. The gardener shows signs of fear and can't enter the house. This is one of many strange things about to unfold. 

The film itself does manage to capture the audience all the way through, but after it finished I have more questions than ever. All of the family portraits were deliberately scratched out apart from one of a youthful portrait of Mrs Bloom. The house is haunted by a mysterious "Charles" and there's a secret room upstairs. We get to find out where the bruises on Veronica comes from, making it very unsettling. 

Do I have any complaints? Yes.

I rate this eerie drama a nice 3/10. Spoiler below!

Blood Strawberry

SPOILER: The blood bath looked very pretty with flowers.
