2018年10月1日 评论 a review of 断魂小丑 - Director Damien Leone turns his excellent short film into a feature-length presentation with this gruesome throwback to '80s slasher flicks. Art the Clown is just as creepy and sadistic as ever. I was a little disappointed to find that his supernatural qualities were toned down outside of the startling morgue scene. So in the end he comes off less as an unstoppable demonic entity and more like a weirdly resilient dude in a costume. Didn't hinder my enjoyment of the character or overall movie much at all though as Art is still very unsettling in appearance and takes the same gleeful amusement in his cruelty. His pantomime routine is quite amusing in a demented sort of way, giving the film a pitch black sense of humor. Stripping Art of his otherworldly abilities is something that was most likely done to avoid Pennywise comparisons. A futile effort as, despite being entirely different kinds of horror films, the simple fact that they both have clown antagonists and came out around the same time means that Terrifier will always be juxtaposed with that equally great Stephen King adaptation by the majority of people. A shame as they are very much their own beasts. I love the low-budget, grindhouse aesthetics. It really sells the exploitation style horror Leone was going for. It gives the deaths a nastier, sleazier appeal and even makes some of the more lackluster practical gore effects easier to forgive. The scenes where Jenna Kanell is stalked through a warehouse garage are coated in purple neon light and are just gorgeous. One of the movie's greatest strengths is it's ability to usher in and kill off new victims in a believable manner and at a regular pace. Not only do we get to see more of Art's twisted torture sequences, but it also means that we don't get stuck watching the same person narrowly avoid death again and again before the credits roll. It makes the night that never seems to end go by a little bit smoother. Not that you'll actually want it to conclude. Terrifier has sick surprises for you around every corner that only get more disturbing as it progresses. It isn't for the faint of heart because this movie crosses some lines most modern horror films wouldn't even dream of anymore. This one is for the horror buffs. Admittedly, the whole thing is a little formulaic. You're just watching people get hunted and executed by an enigmatic psychopath. Not exactly an original premise or anything. What makes Terrifier work though is that it really does manage to feel like a dirty grindhouse horror film from 30 years ago. It's a non-stop barrage of mean-spirited thrills and creepy antics from a silent menace who will make your skin crawl. Art the Clown is such an unsettling creation that Damien Leone and David Howard Thornton deserve to become household names in the genre. Check this one out if you love brutality, have an iron constitution, and miss old-school horror.

2018年9月18日 评论 a review of 死侍2:我爱我家 - Ryan Reynolds has made a career for himself by playing Ryan Reynolds in literally every movie he's ever been in. And by being handsome. Mostly the handsome thing. It never won him much critical praise though until he started playing the character of Deadpool. Who, as the comics will tell you, is actually just Ryan Reynolds. So kudos to him for finally finding a way to make that work and getting that superhero franchise he's tried umpteen times for. Deadpool 2 is more of the same with tons of callbacks to the previous film. I kind of wish they would ditch the sentimentality and just go full on superhero farce already. The cliché emotional stuff with Morena Baccarin is easily the least interesting part of the whole thing. The movie is at it's best when it's delivering more of the crude, irreverent humor and gleefully gratuitous violence of it's predecessor. Luckily, that's what it spends most of it's time doing. Nearly every bit of pop culture you could think of gets skewered here. Especially other superhero movies. Deadpool once again did a way better job of having the characters operate like the do in the comics than any of the main X-Men films ever have. Even to the point of fixing another tragically mishandled fan-favorite villain. It's also still very refreshing to experience a superhero film make such liberal use of gore, heavy profanity, and killing. Let's hope Disney and Marvel take some notes from what Fox was able to achieve by making R-rated cape and costume flicks now that they've recovered their long absent mutants. Oh, and that they keep Reynolds around. Deadpool 2 doesn't really take it's title character in any new directions or branch out from what the previous film did much at all. And it didn't really need to. The first Deadpool was such a breath of fresh air (even in spite of sticking close to origin story conventions) that a second helping feels like exactly what we needed. Especially since round two might actually be a bit funnier. Let's also not forget how it's one of the best Fox movies at doing the comics justice. Even the X-Men films I've really liked have managed to butcher a character in one way or another. Deadpool 2 gets them all right and limits it's use of the overexposed Wolverine to a few well-placed jokes.
