Terrifier 2 (2022)
The Slasher , the Clown and why the story ?
Its still in the same spirit as the first movie .
And lets be honest that the movie feel like an indie movie making by a small team .
Nothing wrong with it but just by its visuals you can tell .
I was also annoyed by some performances of the actors mostly Jonathan and how his facial expressions look weird and was not really believable and just get me out of the movie multiple times .
And i needed to say i didnt understand why they added a story : i mean its ok it give another interest and everything but even the emotions sequences get me bored as hell. It still dont avoid cliche and still pretty classic even if i need to admit that the story with the father was kind wake up the interest and let us be curious about him . But except that it could be the same with and without the story .
Why 2 hours ? It was way too long to be honest . It should be 1 hour and 30 minutes .
The only thing that i found pretty well made and interesting to see are the kills ( its a good thing for a slasher movie ) and it had interesting make up , dolls , costumes . But except that i found the movie pretty repetitive after a while and the kills dont have any impact whatsoever in the story or the characters development and feel a little bit like free violence and blood everywhere just for the purpose of it .
Thats why im a little bit mixed about the movie and its story : it was clearly not necessary . But the kills was well made and it have also in some parts some interesting visuals but that will be all for me . There was not depth in the characters , story and even for the clown ( it could be more interesting to have a past story for him or something )
But i guess if you look for a slasher movie with some nice kills it can do the job .
This Is the Zodiac Speaking (2024)
Zodiac with the Real images
So i really loved that documentary and found it very interesting and well made .
I heard about the Zodiac trough the movie of David Fincher and when i saw this documentary : i said why not watched it ?? And probably its a nice opportunity to know more about the real facts that inspired by the movies but i was really surprised how close it was to the reality and the movie didnt exaggerate a thing.
So i was very into that documentary and we got surprised with the revelations , murders . But also we get frustrated at the end : we still dont know who is the Zodiac and the case is still open .
I love also that intimate touch with the interviews of the people who were close to him and i really enjoyed that sentimal touch of the documentary and we got also some exclusive images trough the journalist and some interviews from the police. And i found it really interesting.
Even if its not Allen some things was still horrible to know : that he abused of some childs that he were close with . And yeah the truth was surprising anyway . But the Zodiac is still unknown and i still dont regret to have watched that documentary and to know more about Allen and all its case: with the mysteries , murders, Riddles and revelations .
I really recommend that documentary .
And who knows ? Maybe the Zodiac will speak again Soon.
This Is the Zodiac Speaking: Episode #1.3 (2024)
No End for the Zodiac case
Pretty frustrating . I thought we will know the real killer but it end only on suspicions and doubts .
Its still an open case and its pretty surprising how Allen get away from that .
In this episode, we basically see all Allen loved ones and who get interviewed in that documentary get shocked by the news even if we still dont know that it was Allen we know that Allen was abusing the childs that he lived with .
Another big revelation that i didnt expect its that the mother was probably not innocent too: she seems to knew that Allen was dangerous in some ways but she didnt do anything against Allen and even protect him .
Despite technology and stuff we still dont know who was the Zodiac and thats annoying but the case itself was very interesting to follow all along and it was pretty shocking anyway and sad .
Even Allen when he died deny that he was the Zodiac : so we are pretty confused : who was the Zodiac ? We probably will never know.
This Is the Zodiac Speaking: Episode #1.2 (2024)
The Zodiac or just Allen ?
Wow !
What a huge episode !
It was very thrilling to have all this info and all the suspicions again against Allen and this time its pretty serious . But to be honest me too i was not sure it was him : we got that Point of view of the people who was with him since their childhood who are horrified by this news and how they deal with that shocking info about Allen . And we got that Investigations trough the police were the clues and proof seems to match With Allen who can be a killer .
And Allen who confess that he drugged the childrens when they stayed at the hotel was tragic and that question at the end let us want to have the end of this case .
And to see if Allen will confess or not before he died .
The sequence with the Woman who was a journalist was interesting too and maybe tense too at the beginning : is she gonna have some confessions ? Is that a trap ? If Allen will deny ?
It was a nice episode and it remain one episode left so i think we will have all the info recovered by the police and what happened to Allen ? Suspect ? Murderer ? Or Just Allen ?
Need to see more .
This Is the Zodiac Speaking: Episode #1.1 (2024)
The Real Zodiac
So i found this episode very good .
It have an interesting perspective with the family who knew Allen ( the Killer) . And it also remind me the sequences of the movie The Zodiac of course who really made me knew this killer .
But here we saw the real murders and its really interesting how the representations in the movie were pretty accurate . But despite the comparison between Movie and Reality it was fascinating to know more Allen trough the people who knew him and how the real murders happened and it was very interesting to be honest and even the detective and the guy who draw things was real and the fact that he was part of the investigations and by his search found who was really the Zodiac Killer .
The documentary itself was visually interesting and give that investigations an interesting view with the maps , the letters , the voice over . And it was very interesting to know more about Allen and witness all this case started and to know more the man behind all this killings. Very nice.
Woman of the Hour (2023)
True story but where the fiction begin and where it stop ?
I am quite mixed to be honest .
I know its a true crime so its not really about enjoying or dislike the movie but i found some things that bothered me and its more about how the movie represented some events .
The woman who recognize the bachelor number 3 was an interesting addition but feel over exaggerated ( i mean is really a police officer will let you wait in an office looking for the director but end up to be the janitor ? Or that scene in the police office where the woman went to complain but end up screaming everywhere : like is there no other way to put this in frame without that kind of scene ?)
Im really sorry and i know its a killer who really existed and there was real victims even the end credits let us know that there was 130 victims and probably more .
But the movie was a little bit too much . And it was clumsy to talk about themes and it dont avoid cliche between mans and womans( the dating game ....). Also the duel between Cheryl and the killer lack very much of tension : i mean the night scene with the car and everything . Why Cheryl is so afraid ? I mean some things dont work out . Cheryl is supposed to not know he is a killer . Only the viewer know this info : so it dont work and the script dont work there .
So we saw how the killer get caught and nothing really to comment about because it is what happened but the movie could be so much more and im very frustrated . I expected something more into the investigations or something but some things was not necessary : Im sorry but the Cheryl character was not that important only when she meet the killer and we can clearly cut the first 40 minutes without destroying our comprehension . And that TV show scene was weird mixing unease , jokes and our perspective that know the number 3 is the killer but its really time wasting .
I dont see what people see about Anna Kendrick : of course she is a beautiful woman but the performance is clearly average and she is not helped by the script too . So not e really her fault . Im just saying this because i saw some reviews about her performance being praised but i didnt understand why sadly . But its ok anyway.
The Night House (2020)
Disappointed by Husband and Wife
What a huge disappointment !
I was pretty hype trough the IMDB comment and expected something into the mysteries and Horror in some kind .
But what a big disappointment ! It was too much emotional , making mysteries that was a little bit too much ( Ok the husband saw a girl before his death but why make it so mysterious and it end up we didnt learn anything else ).
The second house , the weird dolls was just mysteries bait and dont bring anything to the story or the husband . So that story its very simple and get stretched up with some weird stories , house , but nothing of all that explain anything .
A ghost in the house talking to the wife and its not even Owen and who was that guy then ? We dont know why Owen killed himself and that mystery its not solved and its frustrating and we just realised that the movie dont have anything else to say sadly and end up to be more confusing than mysterious .
So yeah big disappointment . Nothing else . And a story that fell short into confusions , Fake mysteries , fake accusations , fake theories . And we have a viewer that get frustrated than anything else.
Will.i.am feat. Justin Bieber: #thatpower (2013)
I got the Power !
I mean what a video !
For a video clip its very well realised .
The Choregraphy , the music , the set design , the visual effects was very well made and we are in immersion to that sci fi kind of stuff and we just amazed by what Will i am offer and its very clean and very interesting .
A little bit annoying that Justin Bieber was not there i mean in a more interesting way and was just there for his parts of his lyrics and its a little bit sad but anyway .
The clip is well made and i really enjoyed watching and its very pleasing despite also some Bose commercial partnership that we can see them used in the video but anyway a lovely Video and choregraphy.
Sing: Thriller (2024)
A Version More Childish of Thriller
Nothing to say more than its Thriller but in a more suitable for all audiences but it was good anyway but i expected way more and something more in a horror genre than this .
I was Hype but when i watched this it was more Thriller in a Sing movie version . A little bit disappointed but its ok .
I like the animations , visuals despite not being that faithful to Thriller of Michael Jackson moods and Vibes but only in some scenes and same dances .
It was nice anyway and i enjoyed it anyway but when i clicked on that content i expected something more in the Thriller mood of Mickael Jackson but anyway It was the sing version of thriller : nothing more , nothing else.
Alien: Romulus (2024)
Between copy and original
I found it quite interesting in many parts but some things bothered me despite the originality of some scenes .
I was scared at first when i saw the young people making bad jokes , bullied the Artificial human and i was annoyed by this kind of cliche behaviour and that childish tone . But i wait before making any judgment and i have a few things to say .
So my first surprise was to see the similar face of Ash : i really jumped off my seat and i thought where that movie take place after the Alien orignal movie ( obviously) and just before the Alien second movie . So my surprise was to see him but i need to say that face was pretty uncanny despite all the technologies that made these scenes possible . I felt weird when watching his face move and his expressions feel very CGI sadly but it didnt ruin the experience at all .
What also annoyed me a lot its that they made some similar scenes as the Alien original movie and the Alien second movie and i was quite annoyed by the fact that they didnt tried things , to create things and made us see new threat and perspective on the Alien . Too much similar sometimes and it was not necessary to play on that nostalgic area : i rather prefer see a director tried somethings rather than copy in a stupid ways what was done before .
And once again , what really made me sad a little bit its that we dont have that discovery period like we are in different space or in immersion of the horror . I mean one girl got attack by a small alien and the horror begin directly . And i missed that kind of adventure , horror feel from the original movie and how sudden and violent it appear and how all the crew face a threat never seen before .
I dont like to compare but the movie felt a little bit uninspired sometimes despite some original scenes : i was very shocked by the new creature that the woman have gave birth and become a new threat and i didnt expect that and the creature was well design and need to say that was well executed and original .
The characters are not that deep and just made reactions of what they faced in the movie . We dont really know them more than what they show .
I like also how the creature appear for the first time in the belly of the little girl but this time we had a different POV trough the lights of a flash to see directly inside the body . It was a nice sequence .
The story was good but the main focus was more the immersion / visuals of the movie than a complex story . Good anyway . Even the gravity mechanic was a nice addition to the actions/horror scenes
Even the end scene feel like a big copy of the original movie with the only survivor Rain and i couldnt stop thinking about the original movie of these scene and some similarities and like i said its just a bit of waste sadly to make a movie that had interesting ideas , sequences , references but get too much stuck of the original movie identity . But i still prefer that movie than the second alien that i found a little bit too much actions and guns things that i didnt appreciate .
This one had that claustrophobic feeling and some set design was well made and the execution in general was pretty good
Just sad that the movie felt uninspired sometimes and too much copy scenes of the original movie and even the second movie.
So i dont know : a copy ? And original movie ? A mix of all that?? I think but i still appreciate it despite all the similarities and ferences to the previous movies but you know its a little bit sad : that movie had potential and creative ideas but cant really have his own identity with all these .
Good anyway and i spent a great moment too . So go watch it.
Creep (2014)
i dont like Creep
So i didnt really get into it . It was not creepy at all.
The movie is full of jumpscares and i hate jumpscares: i really prefer something more into the ambience, atmosphere than a vivid reaction that last only 10 seconds. And that monie is sull of that and get lretty annoying .
The beginning was promising but everything lack lf directions and purpose.
The end was weird : so the creepy guy killed Aron like this ? And its over ? I mean i was pretty disappointed and we still dont know why the creepy guy was doing this : no psychological explanation, no motives . I mean its free violence who lead nowhere and dont bring any understanding .
Big disappointment because when Aron get called by the sister of the creepy guy : we know something is wrong but it dont go that deep .
Everything else are just anhoying jumpscares . Pretty sad process. We just know that the creepy guy was just a lonely guy and thats all. No more explanation or something revealed in his past . Nothing and its pretty frustrating to be honest.
So i cant really recommend that short movie because its not creep at all and they tried to make a shocking end but it failed to really make understand anything and that movie have nothing left sadly.
TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy the Indictment (2024)
Fall again
So yeah pretty interesting .....
But it get pretty repetitive after a while . I mean the events of the nightclub with Shyne , Cassie and her relationship with Cassie , the violence towards womens .
One thing bothered me except the repetitivity was that lawyer who was annoying as hell : Making thing racial was dumb and stupid as hell .And i dont understand why people cant make that reflexion that even the biggest talent on earth cant hide human nature despite the fame , glory and money . Humans will be always humans despite all
its more a question about power and how people handle this and the fear to not control everything : but guess what ? We cant control everything despite all the money on the world .
I mean that part with the lawyer was annoying and it get pretty repetitive but it was good to know more , to see people talking about what they saw . With that girl who survived at the club when Diddy used guns and it was very interesting .
But for now it was good and only time and investigations will save or not P Diddy. Need to wait then.
The Substance (2024)
A Woman who wanted to be loved
WOW!
Where do i begin ? It was such an incredible experience ! What an Horror !
It was a mixed of psychological, body , horror . I really loved it .
So its start with that famous Elisabeth who need to put an end to her career because mostly she was getting older . So she get retired /fired and we understand that was a very important job to her , very meaningful . And she tried something called the substance and there begin the movie/horror .
It start slowly and everything seem so ideal : our main character have a new body to switch after 7 days , she can still works and keep that meaningful thing for her . But i need to say that i was pretty confused at the beginning : is she the same person but with different body ? I understood later that it was a different person : i think it will be interesting to see if it was the same person with different bodies too and could see how desperate a person can be with the fame , glory, being loved and when it stopped and when she wants everything back .
But it was ok and the horror still work : The other young woman take advantage of everything and slowly the consequences will be critical : Elisabeth will transform into a monster litterally . We were the witness of something who becomed uncontrollable Because Sue will transgress the rules .
I mean the real horror come with Elisabeth becoming a monster and we need to applause the VFX or Make up section who did a fantastic job ! Its very believable and i was into the movie since the beginning until the end. So basically all this come also by that psychological need to being loved too and we understand how important it was for Elisabeth and even when she had the opportunities to end everything . She still hesitate despite all the horror happened .
The visuals were an amazing experience : the transformations , the beauty , the ugly, the horror , the fame, the loneliness, .... It was such a big experience of everything .
And i also make a comparison between mother and daughter in some ways: i mean its Elisabeth who put Sue in the world. And it remind me also how ungrateful a child can be sometimes and it remind me this even if here its completely different because the horror genre : the scene where she cook and she see Sue at the TV was a representation of this . I felt that it was that relationship between mother and daughter who resonate in a implicit way .
What else to say ? It was a big nightmare that slowly happened and like Elisabeth we felt very powerless and when they cant hide their dirty side , they need to go on the scene and smile ! Whatever they are : Ugly, beautiful , monster .
It was also interesting the repetitions of some scenes : when Elisabeth go outside looking for the supplies and when at the end Elisabeth who become a monster get out no matter what . And we remembered how she was afraid before when she was just in her normal body and going a date but cant because she couldnt be satisfied with herself . Its kind of interesting to see all the similarities with all these transformations and how Sue just dress with what she wants and even had some clothes pretty revealing of her body
. And the body horror work very well even more with the aestethic and beauty . It was like beauty and the beast modern remake . I was very surprised and i didnt expect all this and it reflect also the problem with Society with appearence and possessions . It can reflect some big problems too trough that fiction and thats why i loved it .
I really recommend to watch it .
Westworld: Chestnut (2016)
a same plot ?
Just a little bit annoying already because it look pretty repetitive and even if we learn new things :
someone maybe sabotage the Android, we discover that Theresa and Bernard had sexual relationship. We had also more images that whats happening there with Maeve waking up suddenly but we dont learn that much .
The end let me in a weird way : do we need to be excited ? Curious ? But i really dont understand whats that thing to be honest . But anyway i still like the ambience , atmosphere but the plot need more directions . It lack a little bit and get pretty repetitive in some ways but anyway it was watchable and we still curious : whats really happening there ?
Manhunter (1986)
The Killer Powerless with Womens
An interesting movie .
Mostly what i found very interesting was the psychological portrait of the killer and how it was believable : the fact that he needs that power toward womens after killing their husbands to take the power because he seemed powerless with womens ( maybe fear of Reject ) . And the fact that he had sexual relationship with his mother was interesting to see the consequences of how powerless he is .
The investigations was intetesting about Lektor and we try to understand him and figured what happened in the past of Bill Graham . Kind of mysterious to be honest and we learned more about him : his mental state also make us ask ourself questions about what happened in his previous case.
So yeah i like it anyway even if i found there was too many dialogues sometimes and not event that much action, tension or suspense but its watchable anyway and its a nice thriller with some psychological profil about the killer was interesting to know and to understand .
So yeah pretty nice movie and nice investigations.
Westworld: The Original (2016)
Life is a Big plot
Wow !
I mean im not a big fan of sci fi kind of stuff : But this one had that Dystopian feeling about this world that they put in place and made me think during my time watching the events going on about our own reality and about how we are also all dictate by Society .
But there are a lot of interpretations about what i just saw but i really couldnt be indifferent to the similarities to our society and this dystopian/sci-fi episode about this fiction world where the rich seem to have fun and aventure trough fake realities because they cant have that adventure in their life probably .
But that experience if i understood correctly are reserved for the rich and they just want to amuse them or get out of our reality trough that programs and their creators . I found that very interesting and let us imagine , fear , questions ourself and let us see an alternate reality and the problems of it when someone dont fit in a particular program like that society with people .
Nice episode . I love it and i enjoyed it despite not being a fan of that genre but i think what they wanted us to realised as a viewer was interesting even if its opened to interpretations anyway . But nice anyway and scary in some parts and reflect in some parts our stupid society .
I need to say that i enjoyed also the opening titles and found it well designed and intriguing like this TV show and fit perfectly the mood and atmosphere .
The Penguin: Bliss (2024)
Victor And The Penguin
Still disappointed .
I am the only who see that TV show very average ? I mean the plot dont go that deep , the characters are simple , its just some drugs Business stuff .
Sofia and The Penguin are a nice duo but its only trough business that we saw them . But the only thing that i found interesting to be honest was that confrontation between Victor and The Penguin even if it feel very forced in the mise en scene : is that kid that stupid to let his messages open and give the phone to Penguin. ? I guess yes .
And that Dilemma with Victor was not really one : he has evertyhing to lose not the Penguin : so it feel a little bit weird ( the tension or crucial moment dont work at all )
The character of Victor is a little bit annoying (he act in a dumb way for a girl ?) i mean they could add some psychological stuff or something more deep than "i want to have fun with a girl " but anyway .....
I dont really know what others people saw but we clearly didnt watch the same episode or lack of critic sense ? I dont know but for me its pretty average . I dont see whats that so awesome to be honest . Go check "The Sopranos" way more interesting by the psychological parts , Drama and depth
But i guess its ok .
Kurutta ichipêji (1926)
Implicit Madness
I dont really know what to say .
I need to be honest that i had hard time to really understand that Movie .
The Dream Sequences blend with the reality .
I just know that the man try to save a woman locked in the Asylum . Maybe his wife or friend ? I dont really know . It should include intertitles : we saw people talking but hard to know what they really mean and even the visuals dont really explain.
And i also got hard time with that representation of people in that Asylum and how they are . I mean mostly they tried to make us understand but also some people in Asylum have internal problems and its not that obvious when they just show people laughing and act very weird .
But anyway what i enjoyef during the movie is the music : Very rythmic and fit during these dreamy vibes sequences . So yeah nothing to add except that i wanted something more explicit . I had hard time to understand.
Until Dawn (2024)
Wait Until Dawn once again
I didnt play the game when it was released on ps4 : i only watch a youtube video to know the story .
But now years later the game finally get released on pc and i wanted to play it and make my own story and decisions .
So i tried it for the first time and i need to say that the beginning take a long time to get introduced ( i know its important to build the characters , environnment ... ) but the characters acted very dumb sometimes and thats why sometimes it get me off and most of the scared part at the beginning was stupid jokes from the characters .
And lets talk also about another thing that annoyed me are the jumpscares : i think none of them made me jump at any moment and i think it was very cheap and illogical sometimes( a wolf hiding in a furniture ? WTF ?) and when you realised that in some chapters all the scares are based on jumspcares its just dont work .
But i need to say that the story was well made and it was not really the case with some other supermassive games but this one have that interesting stories about Josh, the mountains, the killer , the mines , the Wendigos and its quite believable and logical in most cases .
It make the story very interesting to follow all along . Just some reactions of the characters or dialogues felt a little dumb sometimes but im pretty used to that with that studio and their recent games.
But cant complain in that new version of Until Dawn : we got Ray Tracing , Unreal Engine graphics , FSR3, DlSS . Cant really complain and i didnt have big issues during my gameplay ( i mean lags , stutter and bad optimisation.) .
Very enjoyable to play the game and this time i only succeed to save Jess and Sam ( Yes all the others died ) and maybe not the end that i wanted but i enjoyed the different choices and the story overall .
And i love the music : it help with the scare , the tension , ambience and the mood.
Definitely a nice experience that i enjoyed despite some dumb characters , dialogues , annoying jumspcares . But i need to say that i really enjoyed to explore the environnment, know how it will end , and how i could save the characters ( even if i failed. In the most parts).
So if you didnt played it , and if you like narrative game it will be a nice choice to play it .
TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy (2024)
Diddy evil or Good ?
So just finished the documentary and it was pretty interesting .
I already had some info about Diddy problems with some people but in that documentary we saw also some people talking and some exclusive images of Diddy that i have never seen before even when he is working with Cassie and others .
We see also the testimonies about people that found for a long time that Diddy was not what he pretend to be . And it was interesting to see . I saw also some new images about the Raid in his houses and how he gets arrested and the charges .
We see also how powerful Diddy is and how others are afraid to talk about him even knowing him in prison : very scary to be honest and i think we still have a lot to hear if some people go beyond their fears. Diddy was also involved in drugs , sex trafficking and others things
. So i hope there will be new documentaries on Diddy when new elements will come because i really enjoyed anyway to know that industry is not really clean and how dirty it can be .
The case is not over yet.
Les yeux sans visage (1960)
when a father is desperate
Wow !
I didnt expect that and found it very interesting . Its very sad anyway how things turned .
The beginning was Mysterious : we dont understand why that women throw a body in the ocean . But everything make sense later and how also the doctor is not innocent in all this .
But the father is so obsessed by the hapiness of his daughter and his wife that he already forget to ask her what she truly wants and it become just an authoritarian father who is more in the process to do his experiment to solve the face problem . And we clearly want him to succeed but its really hard to really accept that because he is killing young womens for saving his own daughter .
The investigations from the detectives was also interesting and we just hope they caught him but they get fooled and even innocent the doctor .
And its finally the daughter herself by the need of freedom or the need to exist who free herself by destroying what keep her in that room and try to live despite being injured .
The scene were she show herself with the mask was an interesting reveal but the most frightening scene remain the one when they put the first lady to the surgery and the daughter reveal her face without the mask and even if its pretty blurry we can still identify how injured her face is . And i found that scene really well made and let us also understand why the father is worried about her and how people and that world will treat her with that face .
The end was also sad with the father getting himself disfigured by dogs and her mom being killed by her mom.
A very nice horror movie that i really enjoyed . And it can be very sad how things turn for the daughter and all this family who get destroyed by this event . But a nice movie for us . Good anyway , good horror.
Malignant (2021)
Two people ?
Im pretty surprised and i found that movie very underrated to be honest.
It start in a classic way with an event who will trigger everything : the boyfriend and his abuse ( Violence) .
But lets pause a little and let me talk about one of the big quality , for me , about this movie : the Music ! When i saw in the title sequence that Joseph Bishara was the guy who made the music i already knew that it will be interesting to hear what he propose for that movie . I love his work on the Insidious movies and now i really love what he did on this movie and it gave that particular vibe during all these situations . So what a work from him that translate very well the weird events that we will face in that movie.
The story of the movie really remind me Sisters from Brian De Palma about that body horror that we will get revealed later . And i couldnt not think about that movie when they revealed that Gabriel was inside the body of Madison.
But i didnt expect that kind of body horror movie from James Wan . We got also the side detective story with these policemens who tried to know whats happening with all these visions of Madison and who is Gabriel and about also the past of Madison , her problems . It was very well written and slowly when we think we know everything we get surprised too whatever the movie reveal to us : so it was really well made : very generous about the mysteries , horror. And surprises too .
So yeah i clearly didnt expect that and how they designed also Gabriel was creepy and when they saw the footage of Gabriel thats in fact inside Madison was really shocking and disturbing ( but it can relate also how unsensitive we are to the differences of people in general and even in real life )
So what else can i say ? Go watch it : An interesting detective,horror,Medical , family stories ( i enjoyed also how everything made sense at the end : the miscarriage and the fact that it was Gabriel who was eating the Baby inside , Madison banging her head on the wall and wake Gabriel....) . I mean it really tell us that nothing is random and evertyhing is predicted by something and i really love it to be honest .
Nice Work James Wan all the others of course .
The Weeknd: Dancing in the Flames (2024)
New Cinematography maybe ?
I enjoyed the song but we need also to talk about the video , the colour tones and how i feel that it was a little bit repetitive .
I like The Weeknd but i need to say that his video feel very similar just except he used different colours but i felt like i have seen this before with Starboy, Blinding lights ...: the cars , the lights , the psychedelic visions and colours.
Feel the same but different vibes . He needs to renew a little bit . But what make it interesting too its the fact that they used a phone (iphone 16 pro) to record this video and it was pretty impressive : i mean it look like a camera and i really enjoyed to know that and how the iphone perform very well but sad the video is like a pale copy of the others video but i still enjoyed it anyway despite the repetitivity of it but anyway.....
Lets enjoy !
Speak No Evil (2024)
Son ,Daughter and Parents
A nice movie .
To be honest i saw a lot of Horror movies rated 7 and when i saw them i always ended disappointed because it was over rated but i need to admit that this movie felt very fresh and i didnt expect what will happened with these neighbours .
I found the movie very interesting and i enjoyed how it take times to put everything in place and to be honest i didnt really know what to be scared of : i was even felt very sorry for this couple at first ( they couldnt had a child and had difficulties about that ). But everything feel so dramatic when we know what really happened even with their fake muted son that they just taken from another couple that they probably murdered . And after that , the tension escalate : how to get out ? By what way ? And i really felt it and i was like stressed for that couple who didnt know what they get into .
They have a lot of themes during the movies : family, couple, infidelity , miscarriage, Being parents . I found it very interesting and we clearly cant predict where the danger is coming from and i really love that , they play very good and it come very slowly .
I know that movie is a remake and i didnt see the original movie-i probably will watch it too- but i found it really well in the plot , the mise en scenes , the uncomfortable jokes ( is he serious or not ?) : very well played by James Mcavoy to be honest . The other actors did a great job too and we are with them from the beginning until the end in this horror situation that we slowly get into .
A very nice movie to be honest and its the only one that i saw it really deserve this rating instead of others movies very uninspired . But this one let it a chance . I saw the trailer and i still didnt expect that . So well done : they fool the couple and we get fooled too .
Go watch it !
Strange Darling (2023)
Strange Darling Indeed
Just saw the movie and need to say im quite mixed feelings about it .
So the first thing that we can all notice first are the visuals and like it said in the beginning it was shot entirely on 35 mm but even the color feel vibrant and unrealistic but have some visual style . And the movie is pretty pleasant to watch despite the horror .
But that Mise en Scene allow also to reveal what in my opinion was the main interest during these slasher scenes was that : the killer is not that obvious : we know a guy chasing a woman and we immediately suggest that the woman is the victim but everything is not what it seemed .
And thats why the didnt tell the story and the chapters in order just to hide the fact that the woman is the killer and the man is a victim : ok it was clever but everything for all that ? I mean whats left of the movie after that revelation ? Nothing really . Thats why i said it was the main interest and basically is a hunt and she got killed anyway at the end .
So i dont really know what to say : except to be careful about the apparence or something ? It was a visual experience anyway even if it get pretty long after and we just hope that the woman get caught after she killed the man .
So the big interest there was the structure and not really the plot itself even if the structure tell an own story by it . But was kind of simple in my opinion . Nice visuals and structure but for me it lack that psychological aspect with the woman and why she killed her victims like this ( i know : she said in the car at the end that she saw not humans but only devils but it was very implicit) and i expected something more intimate more something like trying to understand what she got in mind : her psychological state . It could add more depth to the characters and more interest to the movie .
But anyway the strcuture , the visuals , the revelation about the true killer make it interesting but i stay disappointed a little bit with the psycholgical part ( completely dont exist) , the story ( more relative to an original structure than anything else), the characters (lack of depth mostly for the killer).
But good anyway . Had an interesting visual experience.
