Gallows Hill (2013)

A family takes refuge in a seemingly abandoned building after an accident and finds a girl locked in the basement, but appearances are deceiving.

'Gallows Hill' is a horror film based on a very interesting idea but with an execution and script that leaves a lot to be desired. The screenwriters' lack of motivation and the producers' desire to have a poorly fast-stitched finished product quickly, damaged the overall quality. Unfortunately, the history of remakes shows that only old quality movies get a chance to be remade.

A Discovery of Witches (2018– )

Diana este doctor in istorie de succes, dar are radacini supranaturale, si viata ei se schimba cand devine evident ca este singura persoana ce poate accesa un anume volum de istorie de interes pentru lumea supranaturala.

Un serial romantic despre o realitate moderna amestecata cu istorii supranaturale, ce intriga in mod original in perioada de inceput, pentru ca apoi sa continuie intr-un mod ce aminteste de un Twilight de nivel superior. Cu cliseele romantice de rigoare, A Discovery of Witches este interesant de ajuns pentru a nu suferi din cauza renumelui negativ al unor povesti similare in acelasi gen. Actorii isi duc rolul in spate cu multa abilitate, fara a da in ridicol, si intriga este interesanta si serioasa.
