You can tell a few things about the Irish horror drama “Here Before” from a scene where the camera slowly and deliberately pushes in on a schoolhouse coat hook. Written and directed by Belfast native Stacey Gregg, “Here Before” concerns Laura (Andrea Riseborough), a grieving mother, and Megan (Niamh Dornan), Laura’s grade school-age neighbor. Megan’s name hangs over the above-mentioned coat hook, but, as the camera pushes in, we soon notice that “Megan” has been crossed out and replaced with “Rosalie,” Laura’s dead daughter.Here Before 2022 Full Movie Download.
The camera’s movement and focus on Rosalie’s name demands our attention, but this image is less about basic information conveyed—something has replaced Megan with Laura’s child (played by Grace O’Dwyer)—and more about confirming the inescapable sort of dread that’s already been developed throughout the movie’s first half. Sometimes, the suggestive nature of Gregg’s impressionistic mood piece—as well as a characteristically strong lead performance by Riseborough (“Possessor,” “Mandy”)—is enough to sustain one’s interest in “Here Before.” Right up until Gregg lobs an unsettling and only partly satisfying twist at viewers and leaves us to work through our feelings on our own time.
That twist ending could have worked, too—or maybe just worked better. It’s certainly full-throated, in a pulpy psychodrama sort of way. It’s also presented suddenly enough to up-end the movie’s sometimes unnerving focus on Laura’s mixed feelings about Megan’s presence. The twist also speaks to how over-determined and uninflected Laura’s preceding narrative tends to be.At minimum, Gregg is smart enough to emphasize and maybe even weaponize Riseborough’s expressive face. Much of Laura’s story concerns a mystery: how could Megan have experienced, let alone know, anything about Rosalie? She tells Laura that she remembers being buried in the local cemetery. Megan also asks Laura to make a ketchup smiley face on her sandwich, just like Rosalie used to do. Watching Riseborough, in character, look meaningfully and process her emotions is often compelling enough to make you want to hold on until Laura inevitably must confront Marie (Eileen O’Higgins), Megan’s understandably concerned mother.
