The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself (2022 )

Two clans of wtches are always in conflict, and Nathan is a mixture of both.

'The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself' is a horror series with a lot of fantasy and supernatural elements. But above all, it builds multi-dimensional characters, with considerable appeal and a very interesting interaction that's worth watching. Unfortunately, it didn't go viral, so it didn't survive the elimination process adopted by Netflix in recent years. A real shame, but at least it doesn't end in a cliffhanger.

Mayhem (2017)

Derek is mistreated at the law firm where he works, on the same day that a virus that cancels any inhibitions is released into the building.

'Mayhem' is a horror-comedy film that tries using a light satire to make fun of troubling human realities based on the hidden thoughts that all human beings have in common but don't act upon. The filmmakers made it easy to figure out who the "bad guys" are supposed to be and who can be forgiven after all their uncontrollable acts. The fast action takes no time-out and no character has an iota of forgiveness left in them.

Director:  Joe Lynch    

With: Steven Yeun, Samara Weaving, Steven Brand, Caroline Chikezie, Kerry Fox, Dallas Roberts, Mark Frost

Rating: 8/10
