The Invisible Man (2020)

Cecilia manages to escape her abusive husband but, after his suspicious suicide, strange events start to take place that suggest that he is stalking and harassing her in an invisible form.

'The Invisible Man' is the latest and most modern attempt to revitalize the character of contemporary myth. Elisabeth Moss is incredible in the role of the not-so-helpless victim, the suspense is palpable, the special effects and the visual impact on the viewer transform this remake into a real success, both commercially and as an artistic achievement. The ending has some inconsistencies that dilute the overall effect to some extent, but the film as a whole is still worth seeing.

Director:  Leigh Whannell      

With: Elisabeth Moss, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Harriet Dyer, Aldis Hodge

Rating: 8/10

The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)

Dani este o guvernanta americana ce are in grija doi orfani in Anglia, si locuiesc cu totii in conacul familiei la Bly Manor, ce include o echipa de ajutoare.

Al doilea sezon dupa The Haunting Of Hill House, complet independent si de sine statator, fara nici o legatura cu primul decat prin fetele familiare ale actorilor. Bazat in mare pe nuvela The Turn Of The Screw a lui Henry James, The Haunting Of Bly Manor este modernizat, adaptat la era anilor '80, si imbogatit cu multe personaje complexe si interactiunile acestora ce urmeaza fire narative secundare de mare interes si complet originale. Dialogul este adesea foarte subtil si plin de subinteles, contribuind imens la constructia personajelor si a impresiei generale asupra privitorului. In mare, acest sezon este mai putin concentrat pe elementele de groaza, accentele fiind indreptate catre mister, dezvoltarea unor personaje complexe si usor de simpatizat de public si in cele din urma povestea de dragoste ce umple finalul sezonului.
