Venus (2022) is a great modern horror with cosmic adaptation that goes around multiple subgenre that called genre-bending with stylist production from Jaume Balagueró itself.
It's actually a fresh horror feature but yea the script kinda mess a lil bit, but doesn't make us disappointed cause obviously Ester Expósito's performance bought it.
If you like a cosmic horror that has so much graphic elements, you definitely should try Venus!

Venus takes forever, to go nowhere interesting, let alone terrifying.
This Spanish production adapts Lovecraft, in the worst way possible. It takes a modern, predictable underworld/underclass, plot that centres around a down on her luck dancer and her extended family, who become embroiled in the illicit world of drugs. Its depressing stuff, that takes up the majority of this less than inspiring film, which has a equally unimpressive supernatural tie in, with a sinister building they inhabit.
Acting is alright but so much else simply doesn't work, it hardly matters.
In summary, let down by a bland, done to death contemporary story line, with a vague super natural component, that comes too late and offer's too little.

An argument that doesn't seem to be where it's going, and in fact it doesn't know where it's going.It's the first, bad version of a script that a teenage film student would write in a weekend.Of course, the ending is not at all predictable, but if it is not at all it is unfortunately for the wrong reason: It is without a doubt the worst part of the film.It's a bad student scenario.From the start it doesn't work: a gogo dancer from the "Fabrik" nightclub in Madrid decides to steal pills (the only motive of the film is perhaps to allow the fashionable actress to be sexy while time) in the nightclub where she works and abandoning her car and her cell phone about three meters from the room... to walk to a building from where, inexplicably, she never leaves. Well, after waiting a long time for something exciting to happen, more than three-quarters of the way through the movie, it looks like something is going to happen...There's satanic cultism in the air, a full moon looks like it's about to trigger an alien invasion, a goddess of evil approaches, and then finally poops, pretty much nothing.Nothing works, nothing is even correct, it's not horror, it's no longer a thriller, the bad guys seem to come from teletubbies, who are surely smarter!Ten minutes before the end the heroine, a badass, exclaims: And now we're going to dance; We tell ourselves that at least these last ten minutes will turn into an effective settling of scores against the bad guys, the witches, the monstrous servant, the goddess of evil...We are treated to a minimalist fight with one of the bad guys, and a shotgun blast at an old woman!And the ending, yes I'll come back to it again, is so stupid that I felt embarrassed for the director. Because it's hard to believe that the director of Rec could have made such an empty film. Sometimes it's better to retire on time. With such a poorly constructed storyline, it's hard to come up with something decent that can't even be described as cheap teen gore. Another great failure of Spanish cinema which pretends to make horror cinema and puts people to shame.Don't waste your time on this.
