I was looking forward to an action-packed brutal ride with vampires, and I got a vampire B-movie for kids with make-up effects so horrible it made me physically nauseous. Another failed Stephen King adaptation, yes they are cursed! It's two hours long, with unlikeable characters, and, as I mentioned, downright tragic…

An average western thriller with the traditionally good Sarah Paulson, good craftsmanship and a decent soundtrack and that's about it. I deliberately say thriller because in the beginning they build some sort of mythology around a Greyman of sorts (A western version of Babadook? bring it on!), but in the end nothing…

A fine sequel to one of my favourite Tim Burton films (the favourites are completely different though). The logic was already haphazard then and it's not much better this time around, but who could be mad when Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is such irresistible mayhem, genuinely entertaining and made with love for all things…

A new thriller directed by Guillem Morales, who has brought us two decent Spanish genre films in the past, Julia’s Eyes and The Uninvited Guest. It is admittedly a talky thriller where one woman approaches another with a proposition to kill her husband and spends most of the runtime thinking of the perfect plan. Both…

This jumped out at me today as the second highest rated horror movie of the year on Letterboxd's top ten list. I had no idea the film existed until then, so it immediately caught my attention and I had to fill in. I cried the first time when I realised it was from India, I cried the second time when I saw the running…

Mario Casas is already a Spanish household name, and the writers of films like The Corpse of Anna Fritz and The Platform were a promising start, suggesting that The Paramedic would be worthwhile too. Unfortunately the opposite is true and for me this is one of the worst Spanish films, it has nothing in common with its…

I believe that for the time (2007), Sunshine was audiovisually groundbreaking and certainly captivating, but today we've been so spoiled by CGI that it looks "only" average in comparison. The biggest asset is definitely the cast of A-list actors and I don't understand how I could have missed a film with such a line-up…

Bloodshot is the kind of film where you know from the trailer exactly how it will end and how it will do. Vin Diesel is just... Vin Diesel, a huge mountain with a stony face who occasionally flips out, but thankfully we're used to him from F&F. A cheap B-movie with a classic idea (a rip-off of Upgrade, actually),…

An absolutely fantastic series about a much-discussed (but still unknown to many) scam in Who Wants to be a Millionaire that ticks all the boxes a proper series should. Just the right amount of running time and dialogue, excellent storytelling style, music, occasional humour and most importantly a brilliant…

Visually it's flawless, just like other Zack Snyder films, and some scenes were downright spectacular. But in therms of the script it's an ordinary superhero flick that didn't leave any deeper mark on me. At 150 minutes, it also feels too long-winded at times, and compared to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I…
