Angelica is a 2015 gothic horror film set in Victorian England, which is pretty decent.
Angelica is about a young couple that has a daughter. The couple is of the mother, Constance (Jena Malone), and the father, Dr. Joseph Barton (Ed Stoppard). It's probably then a given, that their daughter's name is Angelica. Constance starts to become more protective of her daughter, and soon some ghostly things start happening around the house.
I was surprised to find out that the actress that plays Constance, Jena Malone, also played Johanna Mason in The Hunger Games Franchise.
This is a dark film, and by dark I mean in tone but not in overall style. It gives a glimpse into the lives of people from another time who just so happen to suffer from a supernatural plight. I did find the tone of the film quite interesting. Yet the entire style is in a word, captivating.
Angelica is one film that I will want to have a second viewing of, because I feel as though it will require it. Granted this isn't a great film, and this will be liked or disliked based on your own tastes, but I did find myself enjoying it somewhat.
final score: 3/5
