I have a tradition in my blog to do a horror marathon every October, i'm now on the 7th edition. For those that understand portuguese you can follow the
link, for the others a quick summary of what i've seen yet:
Not really horror, more of a police investigation with a few supernatural elements. It has a lot of similarities to the masterpiece that is
M, but a bit weaker. The villian is not as interesting and the story drags a bit. Awesome climax and editing though.
3/5 stars
Should you watch it: Yes, if you're into old B&W movies or a Fritz Lang fan.
I had never seen it before. Well, its a very enjoyable B Movie with all the corny stuff you can expect from it. It was short and funny, good to see with friends.
2/5 stars
Should you watch it: If you want to pass a good time laughing with friends, why not.
I really enjoyed it, was expecting a silly movie but it surprised me how straight and serious it is. It's a bit too short but very enjoyable. The kids are trully creepy and the ending is very brave i think.
4/5 stars
Should you watch it: Definitely, it's so short it will be already over when you look at the watch.
Best known as
Black Sabbath, this is a compilation of 3 short stories, each one with a very distinct feel. The first one,
Il Telefono, can be classified has one of the origins of the
giallo subgenre, but the true star of the show is the last story when Mario Bava shows all the tricks on his book. Please see the italian version.
5/5 stars
Should you watch it: Please do. It's great.
(AKA
The Bird with Cristal Plumes) Debut film from Dario Argento. I completely adore
Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) so I went with high expectations. I think it clearly shows that this is his first movie, a lot of things we take for granted on his work are somewhat still missing here.
3/5 stars
Should you watch it: If you're a big
giallo fan, sure.
I like Cronenberg, but his first films are not really my cup of tea. Didn't like
Scanners that much and although
The Brood is a lot better it still left a bit to be desired, at least for me. Still, the climax is great and trully disturbing.
2/5 stars
Should you watch it: Yeah, if you like early Cronenberg films.
Saw it yesterday. Well, well, well... What can I say. I didn't like as a movie by it self, but I completetly LOVED the whole atmosphere, it's like a big weird dream that we cannot wake up. Adjani is beautifull and the whole descent she and Sam Neill character go through was crazy.
3/5 stars
Should you watch it: If you're into weird surrealistic nightmares, sure
