Only very rarely does a series succeed in creating an atmosphere and style that are difficult to liken to anything else. This series exudes bizarreness, darkness, and the mustiness of decades-old, neglected corners of a decaying house full of inhabitants with twisted characters, corroded by invisible evil. Sticky…

The most ambitious in content, the most magnificent in production design and the strongest in characters of the entire Dollar Trilogy. Unfortunately, it's also excruciatingly long, and as iconic as Morricone's music is, it's mostly about its central melody. Eli Wallach is the most interesting and best-acted character.…

The comparison between Candy and Love & Death is absolutely fantastic. Two miniseries based on the same true crime case filmed around the same time for different networks. Love & Death is a more charming, entertaining HBO drama with attractive actors and a grand courtroom atmosphere in the style of David E.…

The development of the Batwoman series is truly intriguing. The first season emerged at a time when the Arrowverse was expanding into unprecedented dimensions. The solo "Batwoman" series had a great reputation among readers after 2011, but the fundamental problem was that its comic book depiction was geared towards…

If redundant and unwanted prequels and remakes of genre classics have to be made because producers and the times demand it (too bad the audience doesn't), then please at least do it with care and in a form like the one here. It breathes the early seventies, it manages to evoke a dense disturbing atmosphere and…

I found the second part more suspenseful and climactic, while the third part has a political touch, more craziness and better props. There's quite a lot of action, but it's mostly gunplay, so it's more likely to satisfy fans of shootouts than horror films focusing on effective deaths. On the plus side, Frank Grillo is…

A great throwback to the 80s. I wouldn't have hoped that such a heavy retro would work for me. The film is admittedly poor in plot, only telling the story of a bunch of college kids (baseball players) who only go to parties and pick up girls the whole movie, but I especially like the highlighting of how things used to…

Solid stuff from Norway. It's a great tactic to bring in Borg from Vikings and Tormund from Game of Thrones, they will please fans of the series. The film has decent pacing, surprisingly solid action with nice camera angles, and we don't see Vikings on skis very often after all. The finale is great. Fully adequate for…

The first half of the film is slower paced, while the second half showers us with excellent scenes like the train, the hospital and the finale, where the atmosphere can be sliced, the tension is swirling and there is a solid villain. The highlight of the trilogy was the middle part, but the final part is a good second…

I wouldn't hold out much hope that Lights Out will defend the top spot in horror this year. The trailer struck me as a bit underwhelming, but the film itself is one of the best we've seen in cinemas in the last few years (not counting The Conjuring). David F. Sandberg sets a relentless pace from the opening minutes…
