The psychological horror soon turns surreal, with the imprisoned psychopath murdering through others. He uses dreams and hypnosis to do this. Danny may be a good guy, but he's a moron, so when he spots Laura, the Sleeping Beauty, in the hospital and hears that she's about to become an experimental subject, he decides…

There's a monster killing in the city, and the first massacres convinced me that a xenomorph had jumped in. Too bad they showed its form afterwards. It had a leaky tongue instead of a second set of jaws, but otherwise the inspiration, including the slime, was clear, and I quite like it. Also, there's one nice…

Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patelliére are two French dudes working on the classics of Alexandre Dumas classics, and after The Three Musketeers, they excel again! Next time, then, “The Man with the Iron Mask”? The Count of Monte-Cristo is unknown for me, I'm not familiar with the book, so I'm glad I enjoyed…

An excellent sultry and unpleasant drama from the Balkans! The protagonist is Blaga, a 70 year old Bulgarian respected teacher whose husband has recently died. She unfortunately also loses all her life savings because she is the victim of a phone scam and pays cruelly because of her stupidity. No one will give her a…

Exotic Paraguay tries it with a spooky found footage flick and it's not all bad. We have two unlikeable influencers who go where they shouldn't for likes – a haunted monastery – and of course things go wrong. I liked that there's not the kind of shaky camera with distracting images that bothers me, but there's a nice…

Dignity. To maintain it or to grant it to someone one last time. That is the fateful Dallas of 1963 from the perspective of the secondary characters. In this minimal space, the only interesting role is that of Oswald's brother Robert, his deranged mother, or the "filmmaker" Zapruder, who suffers as if he has lost his…

Abracadabra, I sit on his knee. Presto chango, and now he is me. A case of multiple personality disorder wrapped in a psychological thriller, where the main character isn’t looking into a mirror every other scene? It’s original, suitably intimate, and meticulously acted. From Burgess Meredith's cool agent to the…

A seaside mansion for rent, a brother’s girlfriend tempting enough to taste, and everyone’s skulls ready to be cracked. An interesting game with genre standards and audience expectations that, when things get serious, doesn’t go easy on the characters or their motivations. Dave Franco's directing is like his attempts…

Mattel, in collaboration with Netflix, has outdone itself. After a long era of bland animations that had long lost the charm of the once-popular series of fairy-tale feature films daring to adapt various classic works, a variation on the typical British detective story now takes the stage. And even in new animation.…

In connection with Corpse Bride, there is talk of inspiration from a 17th-century Jewish legend, which Burton had encountered during the making of The Nightmare Before Christmas. This time, however, the film wasn't directed by Henry Selick, but by Mike Johnson, who lent his helping hand. In any case, Corpse Bride…
