Wrong Turn (2021)

Un grup de hikers se confrunta cu Fundatia, un grup ce traieste izolat in munti de sute de ani.

'Wrong Turn' e un film horror ce adopta o turnura mai realista si aproape de casa a "muntenilor" din filmele precedente, poate chiar cu un efect mai eficient in inducerea de oroare. Bine facut. 

Regia:  Mike P. Nelson   

Cu: Charlotte Vega, Adain Bradley, Bill Sage, Emma Dumont, Daisy Head, Matthew Modine

Rating: 7.4/10

Wrong Turn (2021)

A group of hikers confronts the Foundation, a group that has lived isolated in the mountains for hundreds of years.

'Wrong Turn' is a horror film that adopts a more realistic and close to home version of the "mountain people" from the previous films, perhaps even with a more effective goal of inducing horror. Well made.

Director:  Mike P. Nelson

Villains (2019)

Un cuplu patrunde intr-o casa izolata pentru un jaf impromptu, dar ce gasesc le schimba complet actiunile ce urmeaza.

'Villains' e ce se cheama dark comedy, cu aere dramatice. Are un umor subtil si negru, personaje pestrite si memorabile si un grup de actori ce sunt bine alesi. Personajele sunt bine echilibrate, termenul villain fiind ales cu dublu inteles, reprezentand exact ce te astepti dar si faptul ca primele impresii inseala. Nu e un film perfect, dar e perfect potrivit pentru a fi delectat de fanii genului sau ai distributiei.

Regia:  Dan Berk, Robert Olsen   

Cu: Bill Skarsgård, Maika Monroe, Blake Baumgartner, Jeffrey Donovan, Kyra Sedgwick

Rating: 7.4/10

Villains (2019)

A couple breaks into an isolated house for an impromptu robbery, but what they find completely changes their next actions.

'Villains' is what they calle a dark comedy, with dramatic undertones. It has a subtle and dark humor, diverse and memorable characters and a group of well-chosen actors. The characters are well balanced, the term villain being chosen with a double meaning, representing exactly what you expect but also the fact that first impressions are deceiving. It's not a perfect movie, but it's perfectly suited to be enjoyed by fans of the genre or of the cast.

Directors:  Dan Berk, Robert Olsen   

With: Bill Skarsgård, Maika Monroe, Blake Baumgartner, Jeffrey Donovan, Kyra Sedgwick

Of Human Bondage (1934)

Un student la medicina este atras irational de o femeie superficiala ce are un efect distructiv.

'Of Human Bondage' este una din cateva ecranizari ale unui roman de la inceputul secolului trecut. Rece, superficial si grabit, filmul nu reuseste sa evoce ce pare sa incerce sa sugereze. Cea mai buna calitate a filmului este ca e reusit sa dea un start de succes carierei lui Bette Davis.

Regia:  John Cromwell   

Cu: Bette Davis, Leslie Howard, Frances Dee, Kay Johnson

Rating: 7/10

Of Human Bondage (1934)

A medical student is irrationally attracted to a superficial woman and that has a destructive effect.

'Of Human Bondage' is one of several screen adaptations of a novel from the beginning of the last century. Cold, superficial and rushed, the film fails to evoke what it seems to be trying to suggest. The best quality of the film is that it managed to give a successful start to the career of Bette Davis.

Director:  John Cromwell   

With: Bette Davis, Leslie Howard, Frances Dee, Kay Johnson

Rating: 7/10
