Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes (2021– )

Live e o tanara dintr-o familie ce detine o casa de pompe funebre si se trezeste cu o sete de sange dupa ce mai intai este declarata decedata.

'Post Mortem' e un serial norvegian ce imprumuta elemente horror din cultura pop, adauga putina comedie de situatie si putina cultura sociala locala si obtine un serial ce merita vazut pentru amestecul atragator a tuturor elementelor neasteptat de potrivite impreuna. Actorii sunt de admirat, fie pentru scenele comice, fie pentru cele cu violenta si oroare si actiunea e credibila si perfect coregrafiata.

Regia:  Harald Zwart, Petter Holmsen

Productie:  Netflix   

Creator:  Petter Holmsen   

Durata:  1 sezon a cate 6 episoade (44 minute fiecare)

Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes (2021– )

Live is a young woman from a family who owns a funeral home and wakes up with a thirst for blood after she is at first pronounced dead.

'Post Mortem' is a Norwegian series that borrows horror elements from pop culture, adds a little situation comedy and a little local social culture and ends up being a series worth watching for the appealing mix of all these unexpectedly well suited elements. The actors are doing a great job, either in the comic scenes or in the ones with violence and horror and the action is credible and perfectly choreographed.

Director:  Harald Zwart, Petter Holmsen

Production:  Netflix   

Creator:  Petter Holmsen   

Duration:  1 season of 6 episodes (44 minutes each)

The Dark and the Wicked (2020)

Copiii unui tata pe moarte revin la casa parinteasca, izolata, pentru a-l vedea ultima oara.

'The Dark and The Wicked' e un film de groaza complet bazat pe atmosfera si abilitatea regizorala. Jocul actoricesc, ritmul bine controlat si coregrafiat, efectele speciale bine plasate si efectele vizuale, toate contribuiesc negresit la construirea unui film (sau promisiunea unui film) cum fanii horror doar viseaza. Pacat ca totul este pentru o poveste aproape goala si fara sens care nu se ridica la asteptarile cauzate de un suspans ce creste treptat si controlat.

Regia:  Bryan Bertino      

Cu: Marin Ireland, Michael Abbott Jr., Julie Oliver-Touchstone, Lynn Andrews

Rating: 7/10

The Dark and the Wicked (2020)

The children of a dying father return to the isolated parental home to see him on his last days.

'The Dark and The Wicked' is a horror film that's completely based on atmosphere and directing ability. The acting, the well-controlled and well-choreographed rhythm, the well-placed special effects and the visual effects all contribute without a doubt to the construction of a film (or the promise of a film) as horror fans only dream of. Too bad it's all for an almost empty and meaningless story that does not rise up to expectations born out of the ever growing and gradual suspense.

Director:  Bryan Bertino      

With: Marin Ireland, Michael Abbott Jr., Julie Oliver-Touchstone, Lynn Andrews

Rating: 7/10

Brand New Cherry Flavour (2021)

Povestea lui Lisa Nova, o regizoare si autoare proaspata in anii '90, intr-o poveste de razbunare dupa ce incercarile de a-si gasi producatori pentru short-ul sau intens ia intorsaturi neasteptate.

'Brand New Cherry Flavour' e o miniserie neasteptata de la Netflix. O poveste originala si neobisnuita, cum numai de la David Cronenberg ai astepta. Imprevizibil si foarte carnal, serialul are toate componentele unei povesti de razbunare satisfacatoare, precum si surprize de origine naturala si supranaturala, oglindind fidel dar simbolic dualitatea umana omniprezenta, personajele principale nefacand exceptie.

Regia:  Gandja Monteiro si altii   

Productie:  Netflix   

Creator:  Nick Antosca, Lenore Zion   

Durata:  miniserie de 8 episoade (40-50 de minute fiecare)  

Cu: Rosa Salazar, Catherine Keener, Eric Lange, Jeff Ward

Rating: 9/10
