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…

I really wasn't expecting such a shitfest, although I know that even A24 sometimes shoots off target when it comes to horror. The Eggers missed their first feature chance, but hopefully Robert will save the family reputation this year. There's no point in paying attention to The Front Room unless you want to see one…

The fact that there are fifty ratings hanging around at the moment, but no one has bothered to write a review, is a testament to how interesting this film is :D It's really hard to write anything about it. The Rosemary's Baby prequel that nobody asked for doesn't add anything new or interesting to the topic, it doesn…

Having Guillem Morales return from TV shows to movies after 14 long years is fine. yeah, but it could have been with something a little juicier. I found the first couple of minutes the most interesting, when real wasps are on the scene and it looks like we're going to get proper domestic madness, but then it switches…

Ava has no compassion, it mercilessly tortures you with 90 minutes of boredom and doesn't stop until the very end. The comparisons with Anna and Red Sparrow are certainly in order, but they are not even close. There's little action, and even it’s pretty bad, unbelievable to the point of horror (a problem similarly…

Dawn of the Dead is a classic of modern zombie films and it's nice to see how skillfully Zack Snyder was already on his way to becoming a master director. This is despite the fact that it's a vastly different genre to his films today. For 2004 there's plenty of quality gore, nice make-up effects, and I also like the…

What's better than a 40-minute episode? A 20-minute episode! And what's better than a 20-minute episode? An 8-minute episode! An excellent an entertaining 10x8-minute series that goes by quickly and is perfect for warding off boredom on a rainy afternoon. Kevin Hart plays himself and tries to succeed in film action…

An American Pickle is an entertaining film in its own right. Seth Rogen in his double role is great, and as always, he is a kind of "father of comedy" for me, because this genre simply suits him best. If there was an award for the most absurd film, this a clear winner. A man who wakes up in the future from a pickle…

The Room has a banal and unoriginal motive at first glance, but it turns out to be quite an interesting film. It begins as a ghost story/home invasion/sci-fi thing, well, whatever comes to mind, but as it progresses the plot moves to unexpected places, goes through several genres on its way to the end (horror, scifi,…
