Initial contacts with approaching death at a retirement home, where “we all come only for a while, but we never go back”. The nice production design and fragile social spirit of this film about advanced age is underpinned by the wonderful acting of Maciej Damiecki. Night Silence is considered to be a horror movie…

Triângulo da Tristeza para comunistas e amantes de filmes catastróficos estúpidos em conjunto. Não queres isso. Eu disse-vos que A Plataforma já era um filme superestimado. Ser realizador de Rich Flu é uma vergonha pura. Mas a produção é grandiosa e Mary Elizabeth Winstead não só está muito bonita, mas também atua bem…

Na quantidade de filmes de baixo orçamento de festival, nos quais os criadores tentam algo, Exhuma impressionou com o seu argumento estruturado, técnica profissional e atuações. A progressão gradual com a revelação do conteúdo da cova profunda funciona bem. Mas o próprio demônio, transformando-se em uma bola de fogo…

A minimalistic sci-fi movie built on an idea and its interesting rendering rather than on genre production design. It somewhat reminded me of Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin. Jérémy Clapin handles the dream passages with animated interludes, which he has experience with from the animated film I Lost My Body. The…

A documentary-like camera stuck 90% on the protagonist alone doesn't necessarily make a good film, but it increases the rawness and authenticity and saves money for the filmmakers, as it allows them to "neglect" much of the sets and scenery, which are mostly out of focus, so you can guess what's going on but not…

A guy with a rifle pursues a bloodied woman on the run. You probably won’t guess what preceded this situation, or what comes after it. This devilishly disturbing thriller is divided into six chapters (and an epilogue) that are arranged in non-chronological order. However, the non-linear narrative is not a gimmick, as…

Flimsily constructed bloody nonsense without dialogue and without a screenplay. Right from the beginning, you are thrown into a fictional (and most likely slightly supernatural) world without knowing what is actually going or what the rules of that world are. And when the film ends, you still don’t know. There are…

A comedic Swiss Run Lola Run with a young seamstress who uses needles and thread in very unusual and creative ways. And she unwittingly gets herself into a situation in which she might end up dead, or with a suitcase full of money. In his debut film, the director developed the original idea of his previous short into…

In the deluge of low-budget festival movies in which filmmakers try something out, Exhuma is pleasing thanks to its structured screenplay, professional technical execution and acting performances. The gradual build-up with the revealing of the contents of a deep grave works well. But the demon itself, changing into a…
