Occasionally if there isn’t a stand-out movie that I want to see in the theatres and a random movie I’ve never even heard of is playing, and that movie happens to be of the a horror / thriller / genre, I like to see that movie. That was the case of this movie, The Damned!
Let me paint the picture for you.
It was $7 movie night ($6.50 for me since I’m a baller movie club member) and I was perusing around movies that I’d like to see. Do I want to see Mufasa? Maybe… Do I want to see Sonic 3? Not really, but maybe…Do I want to see a January movie classic Den of Thieves 2: Pantera? No, no I don’t. What about Wicked?! HELL NO! Wait..what’s this movie?? The Damned… 19th century…R rated horror.. I figured I’d be DAMNED if I didn’t and Damned if I did, so DAMNIT I’M IN! That’s all the info I needed and you know what, I think I made a darn good choice!
The Damned is about Eva (played by Odessa Young, never heard of her), a 19th-century widow who’s tasked to make an impossible choice when, in the middle of an especially cruel winter, a ship sinks off the coast of her isolated fishing post. Eva and her crew must choose to either rescue the shipwrecked or…not rescue the shipwrecked and selfishly survive the winter with their last remaining food.
That is at least the first half of the synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes with a little sprinkle of words that I added in there.
The film starts off with all these credits from the Irish Film commission, Iceland, all these different places. So I was open to seeing something that I definitely wouldn’t have normally seen.
This movie was filmed in Iceland and if being in the winter isn’t cold enough, watching this movie sure as heck makes you feel frozen. The location is desolate ice, a snowy shore with several scenes of the crew (mainly made up of men) drinking and singing old songs. These fishermen just have each other and are jolly enough until the older woman tells a debbie downer spooky tale and turns the jolly pub style room into the icelandic public library where you can hear a pin drop.
We get thrown into the mix of this crew, where they talk about and hint at Eva the main character’s husband who sadly drowned in one of the fishing expeditions the previous year. The rest of the crew are the good-ol boys, salt of the earth types that do this fishing season, make their money, then head back to their respective families.
Conflict arises when a ship that isn’t too far from their shore but far enough to put themselves in danger, sinks. They see and hear men in the distance freaking out. One of the men on Eva’s crew wants to take their small fishing boat to rescue them, but is told not to by the Captain. He says their boat is too small, if would put themselves at risk, plus they barely have any food for themselves let alone a dozen or so new men. So what do they do?
Their decision comes back to haunt them as a mix of their superstition, their selfishness, their guilt, loneliness, and pure hunger drives them to go deep and dark in psychological ways that no man - or woman will ever wish upon anyone.
This film is a suspenseful and psychological horror. It’s definitely scarier than Nosferatu - which isn’t saying much - but after that 19th century film I was happy to see a true 19th century horror movie with real horror elements.
