Morbius (2022)

Michael Morbius suffers from a rare blood disease, as does his best friend, and in an attempt to cure himself, he accidentally infects himself with vampirism.

'Morbius' is a vampire action thriller set in the Marvel Universe. The vampiric presence is not particularly strong, but it is welcome, because it refreshes the MCU-type of action with a little more darkness. The film is the recipient of a lot of unfounded hatred, possibly due to the disappointment of the fans caused by Jared Leto's Joker. The character is believable and interesting enough, the narrative line is decent, the action is a bit all over the place, but overall, it's not half bad.

Director:  Daniel Espinosa    

With: Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris

The Terror (2018)

Povestea expeditiei pierdute a lui Franklin in Arcticul Canadian ce a avut loc folosind cele doua vase celebre: Terror si Erebus.

Semi-istoric, The Terror incepe un serial tip antologie, cu primul sezon dedicat unei tragedii istorice reale si anume expeditia lui John Franklin in incercarea de a gasi un pasaj nordic catre India si China via Arcticul Canadian. Elementul supranatural este folosit aici doar ca un pretext pentru a pune in scena o dramatizare intensa, cu personaje bine definite si fascinante din lipsa unui cuvant mai putin banal, ce tine spectatorul in priza pe intreaga durata a celore zece episoade, chiar si in prezenta unui final anuntat tragic, inca din primele minute. Te Terror este un deliciu pentru fanii de horror, dar mai ales pentru amatorii de drama si aventuri, si curiozitati psihologice.
