Carpenter
 | Prince of DarknessMovie Review John Carpenter is a master at transforming primal fears into unforgettable cinematic experiences, Prince of Darkness is one of his most disturbing and underrated films. With a mix of metaphysical horror, science fiction and paranoia, the director drags us into a nightmare that defies logic and faith, playing with the concept of absolute evil and the fragility of human perception. Carpenter creates a claustrophobic and unhealthy atmosphere, in which the tension grows inexorably. The masterful use of shots and the soundtrack – composed by Carpenter himself – contribute to creating a sense of constant menace. The dark... Read More |
 | Les Yeux sans visageMovie Review Based on the novel of the same name by Jean Redon, this little gem that lasts just over an hour is a fundamental film for the development of modern horror, among all it has inspired John Carpenter's "halloween". The film is poetic but also damn cruel in its elegant black and white, the scene of the surgical operation anticipates today's extreme cinema by a long way, in fact the critics of the time called it vile and gruesome... But the film is above all a horror with strong psychological elements. At the center of the story are the sense of guilt, an unhealthy gratitude and the disturbing sensation of no longer recognizing... Read More |
 | Halloween EndsMovie Review The film closes the David Gordon Green trilogy that began in 2018 and continued in 2021 with Halloween Kills, it is branded Blumhouse and this should be the last chapter (but will it really be like that we all wonder) of the saga that began in 1978 by John Carpenter. The era of Michael Myers ends, the most irrepressible killer in the history of horror cinema ever, mentor of every bloodthirsty masked homicidal maniac who came after him. There is certainly the intent to pay homage to the dark atmospheres of the progenitor film but also the desire to surprise, by inserting an absolutely new bad guy to act as a sidekick to good old...

 | FirestarterMovie Review Based 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). |
 | VampiresMovie Review Jack Crow is much more than a vampire hunter. He is a war machine that considers vampires as the embodiment of Evil and teammates as soldiers to be strictly trained so that they never fail. The Vatican monitors him from afar, assists him through specially trained priests, and supports him economically. This unlikely but functional partnership between this sort of crepuscular cow boy and one of the most important religious institutions in the world undergoes a stop when the ancient and powerful Valek breaks into the room where a vampire hunting party is celebrating, making a killing. Jack Crow's collaborators all die... Read More |
