 | 2020A horror remake of the famous ABC TV series from the 70s/80s that keeps almost nothing of the original, only the magnificent island of dreams. Another low-budget production by Blumhouse designed not for what we all expected, that is, a middle-aged audience nostalgic for the TV series, but instead, as usual, for kids. A youthful soft horror that badly mixes various genres, thriller, melodrama, comedy, blending everything together... The result is a dull and idealess film, with an anonymous cast. In short, extremely boring. |
 | 2022Based on Stephen King's novel, it had already been brought to the cinema in 1984, starring a very young Drew Barrymore arriving from the set of E.T., with terrible results. 40 years later, things are not better, after all we know that Blumhouse production specializes in low-budget horror, and it shows! From the special effects, to the acting, to the settings, everything is bland without ideas or emotions. The only thing that is saved from the film is the soundtrack by the great John Carpenter (who in '84 should have directed it, but who was unfortunately replaced).... Read More |
 | 2023Renfield is a tribute that is a bit splatter and a bit black comedy to the classic vampire horror films where in the role of Count Dracula we find an eccentric Nicolas Cage thirty years after his performance in "Vampire's Kiss" and in that of the servant Nicholas Hoult.

Finally I can only say that my great... Read More |
 | 2019This atypical Horror takes place in a bucolic and sunny setting, which systematically overturns all the canons of the genre, while we seem to simply watch a dramatic story we enter a world outside the world... Where folklore turns into grotesque and unexpected splatter scenes hit you like punches in the stomach, all seasoned with a ferocious humor.
There are those who will come out disgusted, without a doubt, from the vision (it happened to me) and those who instead exalted.
The dream scenes are objectively very beautiful and disturbing. Ultimately, a high-quality film... Read More |
 | 2022A psychological thriller with horror nuances, a remake of a 2014 Austrian film described as disturbing and highly praised by critics. Hidden behind a mask, we find the always good Naomi Watts, here also a producer, in the role of a mother who whispers a horror lullaby in the ears of her children... to tell us that very, too often the monster lives within the walls of the home and in the people closest to us. Compared to the original film, there is much less ferocity and cruelty, but it is still a good film of tension and mystery. The dream sequences are particularly... Read More |
