You're spending so much budget and effort, why don't you make a proper horror movie? What kind of horror movie is just dialogue? And whoever did the subtitle translation for this movie, they shouldn't do it anymore. I'm going blind! The subtitles end before the character finishes speaking. The acting is passable, the effects are bad, and the script seems to have been written with the mentality of "the faster I finish it, the better." Is it watchable? I don't think so. If you like demons, horror, and goat themes, then give it a try.…

A Nightmare in Venice is a low-budget, late-80s erotic thriller that loosely reconstructs the conceptual spine of Arthur Schnitzler’s Traumnovelle, later adapted by Kubrick into Eyes Wide Shut, but trades psychological ambiguity for explicit criminal conspiracy. Set against the Venice Carnival, the film follows Ricardo, a successful but internally dissatisfied cardiac surgeon who becomes entangled with a prostitute, an old acquaintance, and ultimately a masked organization that operates not as an uncanny social hierarchy but as a literal coercive syndicate. Where Schnitzler and Kubrick allow t…

It was funny had a good twist and I enjoyed the story. Romance was nice and the characters were well developed and emotional so it was a good effort. It was a good movie, but for such great actors it felt like something was missing.…

I thought it was an excellent movie! After watching short bits of the live news and then this movie it was a great reminder. Good acting and story tracked well, great job! Really glad they didn't do it documentary style, I can't watch those.…

With the Confederacy defeated in the American Civil War, the feisty “Belle” (Gene Tierney) has to juggle the largely unwanted attentions of Yankee major “Crail” (Dana Andrews) with her desire to help rebel captain “Starr” (Randolph Scott) stay out of his clutches. That doesn’t go so well, and though he manages to escape it means her grand mansion house is reduced to ashes in punishment. This just drives her further into the arms of “Starr” whom she duly marries and whom, together with some other like-minded spirits, decide to make Missouri as unwelcoming for the blue-coats as they can. Their c…

Holy shit. The perfect Deathstalker film. I am just amazed by how well the lead handles the situations. I must say, they should hire my buddy to make them some silicon masks because the foam sure seems lifeless on a lead. Some pretty weak little dude effects all around. The thing about practical effects is even if they're bad you get to see the creative decisions they had to make based on budget. If the CGI is bad...you just feel disappointed.
Nice to see practical effects. Nice to hear squealing guitars. Nice to see the perfect sword. I find the perfect sword to be the best joke in thi…

Walking into Emerald Fennell's latest venture, I carried a cautious optimism, hoping for a reimagining that justified its existence beyond mere aesthetics. In many ways, WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a triumph of technical artistry; the production design is immaculate, and the costumes offer a masterclass in period detail. Linus Sandgren's cinematography is particularly arresting, utilizing gorgeous silhouettes and immersive visual callbacks that frame the story with a haunting, pristine beauty. When paired with a cathartic, sweeping score from Anthony Willis, the feature's craftsmanship …

"GOAT doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it manages to soar through vibrant technical execution and a palpable emotional chemistry between its leads. It’s a film that shines brightest when it focuses on Will’s personal growth and Jett’s necessary redemption, even when it stumbles over expository dialogue or a predictability that cools the impact of certain twists. It’s an inspiring tribute to all those who daydream in small contexts, remi…

This is a fairly savage indictment of suburban family living. Set on the outskirts of Rome - but it could as easily be London or Paris, this swaps the role normalcies of aspects of parenthood and visits the perceived sins of the parents back on themselves by way of their own children. Having been brought up in a comfortable enough swamp of ennui and uninspired hopelessness, it’s the children who decide that vengeance will be their’s as they, often entirely independently, plot revenge on those whose physical and cerebral inertia they feel has condemned them to perpetuate the mundanity of their …
