 | 1988Killer Klowns from Outer Space it is a film made with little means but with great ingenuity by the Chiodo brothers. A mix of horror, thriller and science fiction that intrigues, disturbs and entertains. Despite being a b-movie, it pays homage to more famous films in fact the killer clowns are very reminiscent of "It" by Stephen King. The plot is simple: an alien spaceship shaped like a circus tent lands in Crescent Cove, from which clowns descend and capture the inhabitants to feed on them. Memorable is the scene in which one of them enchants the crowd with Chinese shadows... Read More |
 | 2005An American adaptation of the 2002 Japanese film of the same name, directed by Hideo Nakata and based on the novel by Koji Suzuki (both known for The Ring saga), Dark Water marks Walter Salles' debut in genre cinema.

 | 2018Yet another controversial and highly disturbing film, which confirms Lars Von Trier as a provocative and unconventional director. The House That Jack Built is an extremely raw authorial horror, designed for an audience with a strong stomach. The film follows a circular structure in which the color red is a recurring element.
Von Trier mixes images of works of art, clips from documentaries on concentration camps, cartoons and fragments of his previous films, creating a complex interweaving of symbols and references. Through a powerful visual force, he tries to strike... Read More |
