Great movie.

It is a great movie, it is not a typical horror movie, is more dialogue / scenery oriented which is impactful. Watch it, it is good, Maia Morgenstern is an incredible actrice. The movie follows the traditional story of Ion Creanga, one of the founders of Romanian school. Thr story describes a widow with 3 kids. She teach them not to open the door to strangers. While she goes away the kids does not listen to her and 2 of them eventually die. After the widow will seek revange and make sure that the killer gets what he desearve. The story was never seen as an horror one, it is told to children in order to educate them . The movie transform the story into a horror/tragic one with impactful dialogue, i do not know how will it be translated for the english audiance, but in romanian is extraordinary.

This is a perspective of old Romanian folklore story. The actors are balanced in expressing the emotion, even in the frightful moments, you can read the fear on Maia Morgenstern (known for Mary role in "The passion of the Christ" by Mel Gibson) The few horror moments are the expression of unknown danger, that we can find in real world, and for sure it happened somewhere on earth. The outfit is similar to the one that was used in that period, and all the tools and comfort is very good shown to the viewer. I recommend this movie as a small and interesting glimpse of history, also, it shows the harsh environment that impacted our ancestors in old times. This is something that is improbable in our days, but in that past, it was very much possible.

In my case, the kick to see this film was the hard work , the impressive perseverance of Victor Canache to make it. A beautiful effort, two well known Romanian actors, two local boys from village offering a decent job, one , Antonio Gavrila offering a nice surprise for his good acting and inspired music and cinematography. It is adaptation, faithfull in good way to a so familiar folk story by Ion Creanga. A story absolutely creepy in details, part of many Romanian childhood memories. I am far to consider this film a masterpiece or be very critic about it. I am doubts than it is a real horror. Yes, the dialogue sounds not so good but , being a familiar one, it is just difficult to impress. But it represents more than good intentions. It is, in essence, a good first step , the potential of Romanian folk literature, fairy tales or balads being just generous. Is it a orror ? I am not real convinced about this few scenes being more crowned by my smiles. But it is more than a decent film and, for few reasons, it can be defined as temerary. It is a honest perspective about social realities, offering decent portrait of single mother of isolated place, the realistic image of alliance relative hoping conquer the heart of widow and, rejected being, his terrible, sadistic revenge. In some measure, the revenge, against fate, against the answer of woman affecting the ego of pretender, the revenge of painful mother are the basic pieces defining this film. The good memory, for me, about the film, is represented by the first scenes - the fire affecting the grenary as first sign of a story of sufference. The kids are just good, maybe better than Maia Morgenstern and Marius Bodochi, captives of their theatral skills and front to not very easy text for its stringency. Critics - the mixture of pieces of popular clothes from different regions of Romania. The cross on wall, covered by blood and Lupul making a gesture who reminds shfeshtania in Greek Orthhodox confession , having the status very closed by blasphemia in this case. In hort, with not so reduced reserves, a sort of well done for Victor Canache and his team, for their significant sacrifices to made this film .

Capra cu trei iezi is a romanian horror period piece featuring Maia Morgenstern and directed by Victor Canache. This is an adaptation of the iconic fairytale from Romania 1875 by Ion Creanga. But unlike other fairytale adaptations, it's a much darker and adult take on the story. As a drama, this movie is great. The actors bring this characthers to life in an impressive way. The movie is pretty short, each scene being relevant to the plot and I wasn't bored (almost) at all. The direction is immaculate: the editing and cinematography do a spectacular job of showing this quiet, isolated setting with a dark and misterious tone. The characthers, while barely of them likeable, have nice interactions that keep you engaged to see what will happen next But enough with the hyperbolized praises, let's talk about the worst part of the movie: the horror element. As a horror movie, this is honestly the worst the genre has to offer. Overall tense and scary scenes are ruined by corny, out of touch editing that makes the movie feel like a parody. Characthers like Nanasu feel like carichatures, because the movie wants to take ths intimidating villain and make him some blood thristy maniac that comes off more like some Batman 1965 villain, rather than an unstoppable force. Also the characters, just like I've said, are unlikeable. And not just the villain: all of them. In this movie, unless you're a mean, grumpy person or downright a piece of trash, you have little to no power in this world. The mother is always angry and mean to her kids, sometimes even to the little kid who is presented as a pure heroic underdog. And I know that her older kids are mean pieces of rubbish too, but when they're eventually killed, it doesn't really feel like they're the victims 'cause 1. They're unlikeable, non-relatable brats and 2. They pretty much guilty of their deaths. And of course I'm sorry, but if the movie put them in a somewhat more positive spot, their deaths would've felt much sadder, since the audience had an emotional connection with them. So yeah, it's flawed, but I don't think it's bad like others say.

I, myself, am a big fan of horror movies. I watch different movies, and I am used to the big directors like James Wan. Thus, many horror movies nowadays are poorly done despite the big budget they get. This film proves the contrary. Despite it having a low budget, this film managed to give me some goose bumps. I am pretty confident that's because of me, as a romanian born and raised child, knew the story of The goat and her three children by Ion Creanga as being a children's story and now in this film the tragedy and the horrors of having your children massacred by a psychopath is portrayed very well. Maia Morgenstern plays her roll impressively well, and Marius Bodochi is the perfect character fit for a psychopath which can really induce some fear. The video quality can be better. The camera is sometimes too shaky. But having to consider the low budget, they had to work with what they can. Sound quality, I cannot complain. There are some reviews which I cannot understand. The sound was almost a perfect fit, and it fitted every scene almost perfectly. There are some discrepancies, but you can easily overhear them. You need to keep in mind that this film is not a Hollywood production film, nor has the budget of movies like ones by James Wan to meet the expectations of western productions. Now, on the theme of dialogue. Yes, it's true that this film lacks dialogue and build up and, most important, it lacks the motive of having the children murdered. In the fictional story, the three baby goats are being murdered because wolves eat goats. In this film is not clear enough why would the so-called "godfather", murder the babies of the goat. Me personally, I think we should not think about this film as the three kids to actually portray the three baby goats, and the mother as being the goat. Instead, we should look upon it with the idea that a psychopath lusts towards the mother and wants to have a sexual relationship with her, and by being rejected by the mother on the first encounter, the "wolf" murders the two children as revenge for the mother not offering her body to his sexual needs. If you look at the film with this idea in mind, then you have your motive, and all of this makes sense. If you have the original's story motive in the head for the duration of the whole film, you will be disappointed. Anyway, this was a great watch, definitely not a waste a time, and I would love to see more horror/thriller movies from romanian producers / directors. Have fun watching!

One of few romanian horrors, but exceptional. The director knows exactly what he wanted: to show everyone how romanian people were struggling to live everyday, in the 19th century (but no difference even with earlier times), surrounded with traitors and enemies. Even if it's inspired from a romanian story, the caracters are transformed into humans and reveals that we are the most dangerous beings, and human nature goes hand in hand with destruction (and revenge). For a romanian who knows the story, the movie can be boring - i think, BUT, for someone who doesn't - i recommend. It's one of those horrors that u will never forget, even if it's a low budget movie without great effects. It's one for the foreigners, so if u are NOT a romanian, press play, and u won't regret it!!!

Knowing the story that the movie is based on and knowing the story behind the movie, makes me appreciate this production even more. The production quality based on the budget is amazing, they really managed to keep us right on the edge with the script and offer us visual comfort through the landscapes and representation of the Romanian countryside household. It really was refreshing to watch a quality Romanian movie which brought back to the public eye a well known folk story with a powerful message. And last but not least, the iconic actors were a perfect match for their roles. I would definitely not want to meet with the "wolf" by accident on the streets. It's a 10 for me!

A very good film with few actors. Very well played, the script is simple and effective. Maybe for some who watch the movie it seems too harsh. Ion Creanga's story is really hard, many have probably overlooked it. I read again the story, the text in the movie is almost identical to the one in the story. Maybe some people want spectacular effects, this movie is not for them. I hope more films like this are made, it is needed. The footage is very good, of high quality, despite the low budget of the film. It is only a beginning for such films, it has been shown that it is also possible. I watched the director's interview, it has potential. Of course, there will also be active hatters, who probably criticize any film, nothing satisfies them.

This movie is just horrible. It's a plot imagined by a sick person. I hope he finds treatment soon. He really needs it. Ith has nothing to do with anything good in this world. I've regret watching this, it was just a complete waste of time. Ultimately, I found myself wondering what the point of the movie was. What was the director trying to say with all the violence and disturbing content? Was there some deeper message that I was missing? Sadly, the answer seemed to be no. The movie felt like a hollow, empty experience, designed solely to shock and upset viewers. While I can appreciate the technical skill that went into making the movie, I can't say that I enjoyed the experience of watching it. In conclusion, I would not recommend this movie to anyone. While I understand that everyone has different tastes, I truly believe that this movie is simply too unpleasant and thoughtless to be worth anyone's time. If you're looking for a movie that explores taboo topics in a meaningful and respectful way, there are plenty of better options out there. Save yourself the discomfort and disappointment, and look elsewhere for your next film.
