Countdown (2019)
Entertaining horror
Very similar to Finsl Destination on apps, it is a entertaining horror , well directed . Nothing memorable but expected much worse . With some great horror scenes without using blood and gore , it takes your attention on the screen for 1,5 hours . In a period with a lot of super slow , boring and wannabe intellectual horrors , it almost stands out for being.fun , lilting and.enjoyable . Really expected the usual low quality teen movie ( and still it is ) but has something more . I appreciated a lot the first Final Destination with its amazing concept ideas and the sequels are all very funny to watch . If you like the typology, give it a chance for an easy evening with on the sofa!
Girl on the Third Floor (2019)
Do not understand the bad critics
Beside the really bad critics I found it pretty interesting , with some very good late 70s/ early 80s atmosphere and a solid directing . The script remains pretty open but this is a plus imo . For those looking for not standard nowadays horror and love some old fashioned creepy atmospheres , give it a chance .
The acting is also good ; CM Punk is not bad at all and he reminds me some good old Bruce Campbell , obviously directed by Sam Raimi . There are some small gore parts but are not the main focus of the movie . As said I see really low ratings and in my opinion it is not correct . But also other very good horror movies are not understand by the nowadays audience that prefer the usual Conjuring or. Insidious : just to name a couple The Lords of Salem or Gretel & Hansel .
Oxygène (2021)
Claustrophobic clever sci-fi
A really good claustrophobic experience. Starts where "Buried" was but the development is thrilling . With a clever script at hand Aja on the helm shows again his qualities and the movie touches important questions of existence .
To be featured In the final top 2021 list?
You Should Have Left (2020)
Not bad at all!
David Koepp has written some very bad script (Indiana Jones??) but also directed some good ones like Secret Window . With couple of good actors and a house with nothing else he does a good job , with a good atmosphere and elegant directing . Probably it is more a 6,5/10 but not so bad as I see in the ratings around !
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Slow , boring , inconsistent: just a BAD one!
I cannot believe the good critics on this ! Is so slow , so boring and inconsistent. The stories told are mixed up casually and the characters so bad painted . Luckily I arrived at the end (with a lot of effeort) because this series is almost unbearable! Stay away .
Gretel & Hansel (2020)
Visually stunning! Oz Perkins is going to become one of the best directors out there
Oz Perkins is going to become one of the best directors out there.
"Gretel & Hansel" is a visual masterpiece, every single scene is a painting and every detail is a pearl. Unfortunatley the script is very slow and cryptic in its development.
Only for real cinema lovers, for those who see every detail and for fans of Refn and Lanthimos. Not for kids searching for usual jumpscares.
Looking forward Perkins' next move!
A Cure for Wellness (2016)
AMAZING !
One of the most amazing shows for the eyes in horror cinema and one of the best cinematography in the genre.
Terrifying and scary, one of the best horror movies of the last decade, with a unique finale. Verbinski knows perfectly how to direct and scare with originality.
Amazing movie!
The Counselor (2013)
Cannot understand the critics
I really cannot understand that critics to this great movie. Ridley Scott directs at his usual high standards, the acting is amazing and cinematography magnificent. Why is so badly rated ? The writing is consistent and at a high level . Maybe we just need to see only Avengers in the cinema future ?
The Nest (Il nido) (2019)
Slow but elegant and surprisingly good
Very very slow movie and somehow boring in its first part, it is surprisingly good once the end is revealed.
De Feo direction is really classy and the cast is good.
Escape Room (2017)
Does it miss some parts??
What happened to this movie? Something has been cut off senselessness? What happens in the end of the movie?
The direction and cinematogrpahy are pretty ok, but the rest?
Move to something else that tries to be as good as Saw!
Dark (2017)
Best TV series ever!
Your mind will blow. Probably it does not get the deserved global 10/10 becuase it is too difficult to be understood for the medium watcher who does not want any mind commitment. For all the rest withour doubt one of the most mind-blowing show ever!
