Limbo centers around a secluded colony of child-vampires between the ages of 4 and 120, who were all the victims of shameless adult vampires. They are led by a formidable and deeply religious ex-nurse whose destiny in life is to find these ‘lost souls’ and raise them in her colony. Through religious teachings and rituals adapted from Catholicism, and the occasional visit to local towns for blood, she prepares the children for what God had in mind for them…

Limited budget art house horror with unconventional and provoking themes of pushing morals boundaries and projecting agency on children that are normally reserved for adults. Not unheard of in art and movies and in particular horror of the "evil children" variety. Very uneven in performance and visuals, not to mention the soundtrack that seems to be licensing any number of plays from one single EDM tune. Annoying plot holes that are seemingly plain lazy. However halfway through the movie I looked up the director and learned that **TRIGGER WARNING** [spoiler]he killed himself after allegations of child abuse and production of kitty porn in the raid of a major network[/spoiler]. So yeah it was hard to not interpret the rest of the movie through those covert optics and the intent as [spoiler]some weird pedo power fantasy[/spoiler] - that also makes sense of some of the previously mentioned narrative inconsistencies. In conclusion and attempting to separate the art from the artist, the movie has some neat moments and it could have worked better as a whole had it been tightened up and unified in direction and internal logic. Now it's a sort of half baked result on every level despite ambitions and an interesting core idea. Possibly because the director was wrestling with the movie he wanted to make for himself and the movie he ended up making for the public, but that's just my speculations. If your cravings are for horror with related themes of evil-ish children operating by different moral standards, I'd rather recommend watching Village of the damned (1960), Who can kill a child (1976) or Let the right one in (2008). All of them are much better as movies and do not carry real world troublesome weight.
