A relaxing ride for a good mood. Guy Ritchie watched Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds and thought he could make something cool like that too. Well, it's not that good, but it's fun to watch. A stylish wartime flick with a western score, a great Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson as the ultimate killing machine; it…

Kann es in Indien so schlimm sein? Die Umwandlung der reinen weiblichen Unschuld in die einzige mögliche Form der Existenz, die sich den Gesetzen des patriarchalischen Dschungels nicht unterwirft. Familienwerte sind in einigen armen indischen Schichten nicht das, was sie bei uns sind. Und was zunächst verführerisch…

Eine prozedurale Analyse des Vorgehens der osteuropäischen Dorfbewohner – der Familie des Opfers, der Polizei und des Vaters der Verantwortlichen – bei der Untersuchung einer Straftat und dem anschließenden Umgang mit den aufgedeckten Fakten. Ein für die westliche Zivilisation unverständliches bis absurdes Vorgehen,…

Jugendliche aus Island und ein tragisches Ereignis, mit dem sie nicht gerechnet haben. Das Attribut „intim“ gewinnt hier noch mehr Bedeutung als gewöhnlich. Detailliert werden die zunehmenden Sorgen um den Verlust eines geliebten Menschen und das anschließende Verarbeiten des Schmerzes dargestellt. Die Hauptfigur…

Atmospheric found footage inferno!!! I didn't think I'd ever be scared to go to the toilet after watching a horror movie, but here I was, like, super uncomfortable. I don't mind ghosts or demons, I don't mind heads and dicks being cut and guts flying around, but I downright hate mannequins and clowns and this combo is…

At first, I wasn't too interested in this film, but from the opening minutes it draws you in, grabs you by the heart and makes you rage at the hideously unjust system that existed at the time. The two young leads are excellent, Lars Mikkelsen as the insidious sleazy bastard of the institution is played convincingly,…

I totally missed this one and out of nowhere an action gem from China appeared, showcasing the best of what has come out of Asia so far this year. From the opening minutes the film delivers an incredible action inferno accompanied by impressive cinematography, stunning visuals, stylish slow motion, plenty of blood and…

Quite an anticipated thing by the trailers, but it unfortunately does not live up to the expectations despite an interesting idea. The idea of a bed that kills every time someone lies in it is pretty cool, but the way they conceived it makes it sound very uninteresting. I was secretly hoping to get a mix of Mirrors…

For my taste, it's too long (not much happens in the first two hours and there are some very deaf passages), but the final half hour is literally like something out of another movie: intense, brutal, shocking with a devastating impact. Surprisingly, the Poles don’t pull any punches when it comes to children, toddlers,…

A solid horror film from Canada, one of the better ones this year. Let Her Out is more or less body horror, psychological drama and part ghost story, which is very refreshing and works well. The main character is attractive and likeable, I found the explanation of why the main character is doing what she is doing…
