Midsommar

2019
8
Director: 
Ari Aster

SYNOPSIS: 

A young American couple treats themselves to a vacation in Sweden, on the occasion of a well-known midsummer festival. The pastoral event soon turns into a sinister nightmare when the locals reveal their true nature.

REVIEW: 

This 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 that will not disappoint fans of Ari Aster, the spearhead of contemporary horror, who has established himself as a creator of grotesque dramas in bloody films, which are already considered by the public to be true cult classics.

Candyman

1992

In this unfairly forgotten film, Bernard Rose proposes a terrible genius loci: in fact a popular area (Cabrini-Green) seems to be manned by Candyman, a bloodthirsty spirit that guts with a hook anyone who summons him in front of the mirror. Helen finds him out by chance, collecting interviews for her thesis on contemporary folklore. After discovering that some years earlier, precisely in the Cabrini-Green, some violent homicides remained unpunished, Helen hypothesizes to have mistakenly collected only narratives, concerning real events that have been modified, year by...

Hereditary - Evil runs in the family

2018

“Hereditary”  is a literally "homemade" horror. The physical home, as a place of family life and as creative microcosm of Annie, and the metaphysical home, as a dreamlike symbol of the stability or instability of the Ego, are inextricably intertwined in a game of Chinese boxes : a husband , a son, a daughter, and a miniaturist job she loves. But also a bulky mother: Ellen. Annie has always been trying to fix her "home": and soon we realize that something, in addition to the ambivalent relationship between her and the now defunct Ellen, does not work. Starting from...

Carnage Park Review

Carnage Park

2016

Like his peer Quentin Tarantino, writer/director Michael Keating is famous for making films that are all about borrowing from the greats to create something truly unique. Carnage Park is definitely a good example of his fast-paced filmmaking style in action, but how does it stack up to his other work, and is it actually worth a spot on your running list of must-see films? Carnage Park can probably best be described as a horror film crossed with a crime thriller. In addition to being written and directed by Michael Keating (who also directed Psychopaths, Ritual and the... Read More

A Quiet Place review

A Quiet Place

2018

There are movies that take their time building a mood and movies that pull you right into their carefully crafted worlds pretty much right away. John Krakinski’s A Quiet Place is definitely the latter. The first thing the viewer sees is a barefoot family scavenging for supplies in the middle of an abandoned supermarket. However, they’re doing so completely silently – not exactly average for a family that includes three children. We’re promptly informed via a title card that we’re on “Day 89” of whatever’s going on and with that, our journey into this very quiet world... Read More

Winchester review

Winchester

2018

What horror fan doesn’t love a good haunted house story – especially one based on real people, places, and events? That’s Winchester in a nutshell.

Also known as “the house that ghosts built”, the Winchester Mystery House was built by Sarah Winchester, widow of William Winchester, inventor of the famous rifle. After her husband and daughter both pass away, the grieving Sarah becomes convinced that she’s haunted by the many... Read More
