If I hadn't seen the original, it probably would be four stars, but as it is, it's a pretty useless remake for Yanks only. The first hour is pretty boring, then James MCavoy kicks off his typical psychopathic mannerisms and it's decent. The ending is more action packed than the original, so at least there's a bit of a…

The theme is excellent and incredibly rich, and the dialogues are like a fairy tale. Hopkins as Freud is outstanding and precise, but the real surprise is Liv Lisa Fries as his daughter, who already excellently represents the German-speaking culture. Matthew Goode, however, is somewhat overshadowed by his colleagues.…

An important theme is lost in a film that, in the first two-thirds, functions as a very decent, stylish, and ironic B-movie, but unfortunately transforms in the final act into a sequel to The Toxic Avenger. Demi Moore is in Oscar-worthy form and has always known how to work with her physicality, which is nothing new …

Atmospheric locations in an abandoned village in the mountains of Calabria are the setting of this film, which shows us what we don’t need to see from the story rather than what we want to see. Not to mention the elements of the plot that are supposed to push the film somewhere but instead dwindle into nothingness.…

Teenagers finally stopped staring at their phones, instead giving vent to their emotions by screaming, tasting their own blood and pretending to be pack of predatory beasts. In a forest in which a mysterious creature roams and the corpse of their schoolmate occasionally appears. This premise sounds far better than…

Even though the financial shark Richard Gere flies through his inflated bubble over the cactus grove, he always has the option to choose, which safely guides him through the thorns. Although beyond the galaxies of Margin Call and Michael Clayton, the universe remains the same. Cold pragmatism and cohesion at all…

Kubík's not at all bad fantasy facelift of one of the dwindling Czech film genres has one fundamental problem, which is the music. It is at least a class above the disjointed narrative events and draws too much attention to itself. The method of trial and error in this type of "looping" shaping the character is the…

Mexorcism. As for the production design, it is so modest that there wasn't even enough dinero for Father Merrin to step out of a taxi in a sombrero. The atmosphere throughout the overwhelming majority of the film is dead, with exorcism procedures regularly alternating with performances at the telenovela level. If…

The British occupation zone in Germany, featuring a grand estate divided into zones by nationality, where erotic zones provoke testing the deformational zones of marriage. I don’t want to say it was as cold as Keira's ankles walking in heels through the snow, but we can agree that James Kent refused to leave the…

If we accept the idea that behind the walls there can be not only pipes, electrical wiring, rats, cockroaches, and victims of drug cartels, we have a list of films that are arranged chronologically and qualitatively in descending order like this: The Pact, Housebound, Within, Aftermath. The last one, featuring Gollum…
