REVIEW: 

These days playing on Netflix is the chilling outside experience, The Ritual. Directed by David Bruckner written by Joe Barton, the film bases on four school companion's stumble into the forested areas following the passing of one of their classmates. Try not to be tricked by the entire outdoors in the forested areas situation. The Ritual does not endless supply of the typical repulsiveness tropes that kind groups of onlookers have seen on numerous occasions. 

Alongside their outdoors equip, this team of folks brings along a considerable measure of psychological weight on their trip also. The Ritual is a balance of suspenseful thrill ride and beast film. The characters are multi-layered and extremely all around acted. The apprehension inside themselves, and in addition among the companions, turns the pressure level on the whole film up an indent. Rafe Spall emerges with his splendid depiction of Luke, who was observer to his companion's murder. Spall shows an extensive variety of feelings successfully from despondency, torment, blame, dread and outrage. His execution gives genuine human profundity to Luke. This improves the part of The Ritual that works extremely well, the association of the gathering of people to the characters. With characters that are relatable, the watcher really thinks about this gathering of young fellows and feel their dread. At last, the mankind that is deficient in numerous blood and guts movies, The Ritual can accomplish. At the point when all hellfire descends upon this team, we really mind. 

Based off of Norwegian folklore, The Ritual gives a frightful dull tone, with the woods itself having a major impact in film. This film is charming, many-sided and all around created by Bruckner. All things considered, it additionally gives the dread factor and gut for the bad-to-the-bone repulsiveness fan. In case you're searching for a fascinating blood and gore movie with a profound story, help yourself out and look at The Ritual.

Gretel e Hansel

2020

A reinterpretation at times unpublished of the famous Grimm fairy tale, by the director son of art Oz Perkins who wanted to distort the original story by making major changes. Gretel is the real protagonist of the film, here becoming the older sister, the witch instead seems more like a modern Wicca with a very hostile attitude towards the male gender who lives in a house that is not at all colorful and inviting but rather dark and disturbing. Furthermore, the story is marked by a strong feminist imprint.  There is little horror in this film but a lot of dark... Read More

Nosferatu

2024

Remake of the 1922 German silent expressionist film classic "Nosferatu the Vampyre", loosely based on the novel Dracula (1897) by Irish writer Bram Stoker. For me, who saw the 1979 cult movie "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht", the comparison with this new version is inevitable, which did not excite me. The aforementioned was certainly much simpler and poorer in its sober and perhaps even a little squalid staging and focused a lot on the perverse and disturbing charm of the protagonists, the beautiful Isabelle Adjani and the damned Klaus Kinski. Here, however, the... Read More

Within

2016

There is little to say about this film, a banal story (how many horror films begin with a family moving?) and also copied, it recalls for example "Crawlspace" by David Schmoeller from 1986 with Klaus Kinski, it offers some small surprises but not even very original. The film takes a long time to get going and given the initial sunny atmosphere you immediately wonder if it is really a horror and in fact the disturbing scenes are very few, perhaps girls will like it more given a certain romanticism à la "The Phantom Of The Opera". The actors are good looking and also quite... Read More

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

1962

Based on the novel by Henry Farrell released in 1960, the film is considered the progenitor of the psycho-biddy subgenre where the protagonists are mentally unstable elderly women, ready to terrorize the unfortunate ones on duty. Playing the disturbing sisters in this psychological thriller, a small jewel of genre cinema, are an unforgettable Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, great Hollywood stars now in their twilight years. Despite being free of bloody or macabre scenes, the film is a hallucinatory journey through sadism, madness and family resentments... Claustrophobic,... Read More

Let It Snow

2020

A soft horror film produced in Ukraine, very beautiful on a visual level thanks to the spectacular locations in Georgia... a glacial setting, which instills no small amount of anguish and chill in the heart. Filmed in a classic style, it is a rather simple and short story that flows quickly without leaving any particular shivers, but some scenes are particularly anxiety-inducing and an unbearable and disturbing Christmas song acts as a background. The protagonist Ivanna Sakhno is very good.
