2025年6月5日 评论 a review of - Not as good as Talk to Me , but Danny and Michael Philippou prove that wasn’t just a one-off. Bring Her Back  trades the big thrills for more sadistic, gross-out chills. The real focus here is on the story and themes. This a heartbreaking tale of grief, loss, love, mistakes, and abuse. It’s powerful stuff the hits like a shotgun blast directly to your emotions that’s only bolstered by the fact that the brother directors pull no punches when it comes the visuals of any of the unpleasant, graphic stuff occurring onscreen. This left me genuinely sad, but in a strangely good way. The former comedy YouTubers have cemented themselves as among the modern greats of the horror genre with their sophomore outing where they weren’t afraid to sacrifice constant edge-of-your-seat excitement in order to tell a real, twisted, and haunting yarn that’s actually about something. Because of that I will eagerly await and tune in for whatever they do next.

2025年1月21日 评论 a review of 断魂小丑2 - The true reason behind any long-running slasher franchise’s success isn’t the quality of the kills, although that does play a big factor. It’s ironically how likable their recurring villains are. We keep coming back to the Friday the 13ths and Nightmare on Elm Streets because we want to see Jason and Freddy massacre more teens. They entertain us so we can’t wait for them to be resurrected for the umpteenth time and honestly probably wouldn’t be all that bothered if they won in the end. Terrifier in its second outing on the other hand seems to be attempting to do the exact opposite. Essentially trying to go about getting people invested in returning for future installments by making them utterly HATE the central antagonist.  Art’s sadistic cruelty and pantomime routine were darkly amusing in the pair of films and shorts the preceded this chapter. That isn’t quite the case anymore. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve somehow gone soft, the result of the lackluster practical gore effects no longer carrying the same cheap exploitation flick charm they once did, or the consequence of how excessively freaking long the movie is at nearly two-and-a-half hours (although I do appreciate the freedom that gave Damien Leone to portray whatever sick bit of vileness popped into his twisted mind), but with every act of savagery and brutality I witnessed my loathing of the demonic fiend only grew deeper. My favorite moments were the brief instances where the unusually charming victims of his torment got some of their own licks in.  All in all, it was an effective strategy. Combined with the intriguing hints of deeper lore that promise to make the enigmatic devil less of a mystery at some point, I’ll definitely be checking out 3 and likely the already announced 4 as well. I can’t wait to finally see this clown die for real already.

2023年12月31日 评论 a review of 海王2:失落的王国 - Solid follow-up. Don’t get the hate. James Wan basically just does more of what he did the first time around and that still proves to be a winning formula. So if you liked the previous Aquaman there’s no reason you shouldn’t like this one too. You get more Indiana Jones -esque globetrotting, the same cheesy sense of humor, Jason Momoa continuing to be a likable dude, better underwater action than the latest Avatar flick, and a spectacular looking aquatic world that’s a splendid mix of Star Wars , Wakanda, and even a hint of Lord of the Rings . You also get stuff that feels like an early glimpse into Wan’s  reported  upcoming  Call of Cthulhu adaptation, which has this Lovecraft fan SUPER stoked, and an unexpectedly charming Patrick Wilson performance. All in all a fine note for the DCEU to go out on, because the horror maestro proves once again he can direct a blockbuster just as well as he can the latest scarefest.

2021年3月27日 评论 a review of 古墓丽影2 - As far as big, dumb popcorn movies go the first Tomb Raider was a decent ride that was ultimately held back from blockbuster greatness by a relatively uninteresting first half that took far too long setting things up. Unburdened by the need to introduce viewers to it's heroine and how she operates however, this sequel wastes no time in getting right to the globetrotting action and it's a better experience because of it. Something that is also in no small part due to how much grander and more beautiful the adventure is to boot. The shootouts are bigger, the visuals prettier, and Croft is given more acrobatic sequences that feel like they were ripped straight from the games. There's even a greater variety to the set pieces as Lara takes a page from spy thrillers to do things like infiltrate her foe's corporation and battle through its secret laboratory before getting back to the Indiana Jones , beat-the-bad-guy-to-the-relic style hijinks you'd expect. The plot may have only gotten more ludicrous as a result, but given the nature of the narratives found in the source material it's not something I really take issue with. In fact, about the only thing Cradle of Life does wrong is trying to establish a serious love interest for its protagonist in the form of an old flame portrayed by Gerard Butler. On top of giving Lara anything more than a casual flirt kind of cheapening one of the aspects that makes her so special (her independence), "Terry Sheridan" isn't exactly a likeable character. He's one of those macho jerk stereotypes and there's such a dissonance between his and Lara's personalities that the chemistry between Jolie and Butler that would have been necessary to sell the romance is nowhere to be found. Still, this minor shortcoming does little to hinder the fun. At the end of the day, there may be thousands of alternatives out there with more depth and braincells, but next to none of them have as exciting a female lead as this one. It's a shame Angelina Jolie had no interest in making another one. This is a role she was born to play and the improvements that were made here boded well for a potential trilogy or more. While the Croft mantle has found a fine successor in Alicia Vikander, there's no secret that there was something special about the Maleficent star's take that no other actress will be able to match even though the films themselves were flawed.

2020年3月22日 评论 a review of 勇敢者游戏2:再战巅峰 - Much better than I expected such a quickly released sequel to be. Especially one that looked like it wasn't going to be much more than a cash-grabbing retread of the original. While it is certainly familiar, The Next Level is actually a minor improvement on its predecessor with everybody's shtick being a bit funnier this time around. Watching Hart and Johnson play old men never gets old, Jack Black proves once again to be one the best character actors out there right now, and Awkwafina almost gives him a run for his money with her dual performance. Even Karen Gillan who is largely stuck in the same role as last time gets a brief moment to embody a different persona, which she does impressively. The action set-pieces are also more exciting and memorable. While I'll only ever remember Welcome to the Jungle for its jokes, sequences here like the one where the cast dodge mandrills while jumping across moving rope bridges will stick in my mind just as strongly as any of the laughs. The themes of friendship and self-acceptance play out noticeably sweeter as well. The flaws are the same as before. Namely, not every gag or one-liner landing and it being kind of hard to pinpoint the target audience as far as age range goes. The comedy still varies wildly in terms of maturity. There are some moments clearly aimed at young children and others where the humor is so raunchy it seems only acceptable for older teenagers and adults. Because of this it kind of falls into a weird area where it's not going to be the most appropriate or comfortable choice for everyone's family movie night. Yet, I can't deny that it's a lot of fun. It never tries to go bigger than the 2017's Jumanji . Instead it introduces a few amusing new twists and some subtle refinements while saving the big changes for what looks to be a pretty interesting third (technically fourth) chapter. It's a better sequel because of that.

2019年5月27日 评论 a review of 德州电锯杀人狂前传 - Those hoping for any sort of nuanced exploration into what caused the Hewitt family to become so depraved will be disappointed. This origin story has only the briefest mention of some P.O.W. related trauma so Leatherface and his relatives are just depicted as psychos from the get-go. We see how they got their start at butchering random travellers though and with plenty of little revelations about stuff from the 2003 film (like how Sheriff Hoyt lost his front teeth). However, it's not like anyone is looking for any real depth here anyways. We're here to see people get killed and on that front the movie delivers in grotesquely satisfying ways. The opening birthing sequence feels like something straight out of an exploitation flick. In fact the whole thing is so much more grindhouse than its predecessor that I imagine it will have a hard time appealing to the more mainstream horror audience. The increased amount of torture and nastiness have definite hardcore appeal. The real improvements are found in the pacing though. There's not a moment of downtime on the way to the incredibly bleak ending and that makes a lot of difference. There's no depth or any reason to care about anybody onscreen, but if you enjoy occasionally trekking through the muck and mire this entrail laden journey can provide a good time. If you have a strong stomach that is. Proof that even if your movie is sadistic, it doesn't have to be miserable to watch. At least not entirely.

2019年4月19日 评论 a review of 海王 - This is super cheesy, but James Wan directed the heck out of it. His action and battle sequences are nothing short of epic with the latter being large enough in scale to rival even the most thrilling conflicts in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. The CGI is pretty dodgy, but that's kind of forgivable given how nobody's really tried all of this underwater stuff before. Tougher to overlook the on land portions though, especially with those glaringly obvious green screens. This is kind of like the DCEU's Black Panther . You've got a guy battling for a throne he feels unworthy of and a cast of characters who are ultimately outshined by the world they live in. The film basically takes place in an underwater Wakanda, only with somehow even more fantastical elements. I never formed an emotional connection with anything despite the film's constant efforts to try and convince me that Arthur's mommy issues actually mattered, but I was nonetheless fascinated by all the places I was being taken onscreen. Our ability to really connect with the characters is hindered by how lively the plot is. There's so much going on that it's hard to believe things never feel overstuffed or exhausting despite the fact that the pace never relents for a single second. Impressive given how having this much content led to Spider-man's cinematic demise twice before he found his way to the MCU. Of course it also doesn't help that Wan layed the Velveeta on thick. A move that feels intentional, but robs the movie of some quality that otherwise would have been there. Aquaman remains a lot of fun though. It plays out like an action-adventure movie with Jason Momoa trotting around the globe in search of an ancient weapon like some kind of mega-buff Indiana Jones . There's plenty of jaw-dropping spectacle and Atlantis is such an imaginative, fascinating place that it's hard to take your eyes off the screen no matter how irreverent and goofy things can get.

《我是爱》(I Am Love)和《更大的水花》(A Bigger Splash)的意大利导演卢卡·格达戈尼诺(Luca Guadagnino)即将翻拍1977年达里奥·阿金图(Dario Argento)的意大利经典恐怖片《阴风阵阵》(Suspiria),达科塔·约翰森(Dakota Johnson)和蒂尔达·斯温顿(Tilda Swinton)将担任翻拍版的主演。
1977年的《阴风阵阵》讲述了美国女孩苏茜来到德国一所历史悠久的芭蕾舞学院进修,结果在学校里遇到了一系列神秘事件、女学生接连遭到血腥残忍的杀害……经过寻访,苏茜发现这所学校原来是一群女巫的大本营,而自己将是下一个受害者!最终,苏茜杀死了黑魔女,逃出了魔窟。
据悉,卢卡·格达戈尼诺翻拍的版本将忠实于原作,故事仍设定在1977年的柏林,而为该片作曲的将是美国当代著名极简主义音乐家约翰·亚当斯(John Adams),他曾为卢卡·格达戈尼诺的《我是爱》创作过电影音乐。
虽然没有正式公布,但是显然达科塔·约翰森(Dakota Johnson)将在这部片子里饰演女主角苏茜,而蒂尔达·斯温顿(Tilda Swinton)则将饰演芭蕾舞学校的校长。

2019年3月10日 评论 a review of 阴风阵阵 - I must agree with Dario Argento, there is no music in Suspiria (2018) . None that stands out that is. Thom Yorke's soundtrack is an unequivocal disappointment. Same goes for the lack of color. The drab greys of the setting don't lend themselves well to establishing any sort of style. There are attempts to capture some of the original's magic in this department, but they mostly amount to the occasional odd camera angles or movements that just come off as dated flourishes that feel out of place in what is otherwise a traditionally made modern horror movie. While it's disappointing to see this remake/reimagining fall short in those areas, my enjoyment of the film ultimately wasn't hindered too much thanks to what an improvement it is narrative-wise. Looking back, the antagonists of the original Suspiria didn't actually seem to be doing much other than just existing. Only taking the time to kill someone if they happened to be stumbled upon. Here though, the coven has motives and recognizable faces. They're using the girls at the dance academy to reach twisted goals and it's a much more sinister movie as a result. I like how they actually teach dance in this version. It was odd that it never played a role in the original. The performances don't seem all that well choreographed though. Dakota Johnson was great, but the other dancers around her paled in comparison do to their roles in the routines being nowhere near as complex and feeling oddly disconnected from the whole. However, each display is erotic and disturbing enough to remain memorable. Luca Guadagnino matches Argento's ability to create horrific death sequences. The first major kill in the movie is one of the most violent and hard to watch acts of brutality I've ever witnessed, and I'm something of a glutton for gore and mangled bodies. The extremely bloody conclusion is a little over the top, but is the kind of slaughter any fan of Italian horror cinema will love. The R rating is well earned. Expect gratuitous (yet non-sexualized) nudity and disgusting sights galore. 2018's Suspiria ultimately doesn't hold a candle to the 1977 classic. Stylistic deficiencies aside, the biggest issue with it is that it's so slow moving. It's quite a chatty little film, and one where the conversations don't mean as much as Guadagnino would like us to believe. Yet, it delivers so much memorable, grotesque, and macabre imagery that it's worth watching regardless.

2018年6月2日 评论 a review of 刀锋战士 - Sleek, stylish, and sexy. A reminder of the pre-MCU days where Marvel and other superhero films weren't afraid to get more experimental in their approach. These days you won't see anyone make a comic book adaptation for their cinematic universes this dark and bloody. Especially not Marvel. At least not outside of Netflix. Like a lot of the videogame and comic book movies from the late '90s and early 2000s, the action in blade is of a hyper ridiculous, over-the-top nature that can occasionally get too silly for it's own good. There are also some moments that would have come across as cool and acceptable back in 1998, but are just cheesy today. Blade still holds up surprisingly well though. Especially for a film that uses the popularized, glamorous take on vampires. This is largely because it plays itself with almost an entirely straight face. This allows some moments that could have been terrible coming off as much better than they otherwise would have. Such as the blood drinking scene that is completely unsubtle in it's symbolism of sex. Blade also doesn't forget that while it's creatures of the night are all fashionable pretty boys and girls, they are historically monsters. Wesley Snipes gives an incredibly cool performance. The character of Blade himself though goes underdeveloped. With the exception of a surprisingly emotional scene involving the mentor/surrogate father figure "Whistler" (portrayed by Kris Kristofferson) that allows Snipes to actually do some light acting, our protagonist never comes off as anything more than a blank slate. Blade is hardly more than a vampire killing-machine we never get to learn much about. He can fight and toss out some clever one-liners, but I was ready to see some growth well before the credits rolled. This is somewhat made up for with the villain though. Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) is a much more memorable antagonist than most of the foes in modern superheroes find themselves up against, even if his motivations are of the standard "vampires should be ruling humans instead of hiding" variety. The way the story plays out and the style in which scenes are shot really does make Blade feel like a live-action comic book. Much like the Thomas Jane Punisher movie and to a lesser degree 2003's Daredevil, Blade takes is a dark and mature alternative to the more family-friendly superhero movies that make up the majority of the genre. It's the kind of thing I would love to see Marvel and DC do on the big-screen again. Fox is the only one giving us R-rated cape and costume flicks these days. I love how Blade fully embraces it's horror side. Something that opened the door for the multitude of grotesque and gory kills. Some elements of the story don't hold up quite as well as they should. For example the stuff with Blade's mother comes off as inconsequential and gets weirdly incestuous there for a second. There are also scenes that seemingly contribute nothing to the overall plot. Blade is a reminder of a time where superhero films weren't afraid to take risks and go to some more adult places with their action. While this didn't always win them a bunch of support from the professional critics, they were usually able to find their own followings in the audience. This is a movie worth checking out if you'd like to see a darker Marvel character. One that if they ever did decide to revive for the MCU would most likely get relegated to one of their TV shows that have begun to feel somewhat disconnected from the larger universe as opposed to the big-screen treatment he deserves. Look at what happened to Frank Castle. If Marvel ever does decide to follow in Fox's footsteps and make another R-rated superhero movie aimed at adults like they did back in the day (it's worked for the X-Men three times now) this should be the character they do it with as his original adventure is still good 20 years later.
