 | 2019Netflix product halfway between comedy and splatter... Horror satire on the world of contemporary art, I would say a "unique piece" in the panorama of the subgenre, set between the walls of luxurious American galleries. The atmosphere goes from a gloomy purple to a sunny heat, it feels like being on a carousel that goes up and down between laughter and fear. Jake Gyllenhaal always excellent, he perfectly embodies the role of a cynical and mellifluous art critic like never before.
Certainly one of the best films on the Netflix platform and it's a real shame not to have... Read More |
 | 2022First part is good, it seems to return to the atmosphere and style of Italian thriller/horror cinema from fifty years ago and this is a good thing, we immediately recognize the unmistakable style of Dario Argento, good Asia Argento and Ilenia Pastorelli... but then the collapse begins!

Tremblay, "The House at the End of the World", a psychological thriller that for an hour and forty minutes, plays excellently on ambiguity and sadism, sowing doubts and clues that, even before putting us in front of the apocalyptic fait accompli, prefer to push the characters and the viewer himself to ask who we should give our trust to. Shyamalan inspired the one who holds the anxious helm of Knocking at the Door, with a rhythm and a staging of great value, in which the violence is not explicitly shown but leaves room for the...

 | 2024A satanic and unrecognizable Nicolas Cage in one of the most complex and successful horror films of the year. Oz Perkins, son of the iconic Anthony (Psycho) directs a horror for adults, finally without screaming and laughing teenagers.
Very beautiful images in a sulphurous, depressing and morbid atmosphere... it reminds us of cornerstones such as "The Silence of the Lambs" in particular for how it proposes the detective-killer scheme. A cynical film, about the fall of illusions instilled in us as children by weak mothers, and it is the detective's mother who... Read More |
