The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
In Eyes Beyond, Two brothers share the same house. One day they invite their next-door neighbors over for a nice dinner. What the neighbors don’t realize is that everything is not right with the brothers and they soon find themselves in a game of ultimate humiliation and degradation. They’re at the mercy of their captors and the only thing that can release them from the nightmare is death – or is it? I’ve seen my...
Doll Boy has a very shallow plot, possibly not worth mentioning. Well, of course, it is! It’s just that it can be described in just a few words. So it feels more appropriate to incorporate it into the text rather than use an entire paragraph in bold letters. The main thing about the flick isn’t really the deep plot anyway. We have all seen films where the main thing is to watch the killer kill...
. Consumption starts out with what seems to be a romantic dinner for two. Soon it changes into something more macabre. Something way beyond ordinary people’s frames of reference. Professor George Klubbard and Claudia are fully aware of their commitments and will stop at nothing to complete the experiment. Empirical research that emphasizes unknown states of mind and experiences of flesh few can brag about. It’s all too hard to review Consumption in any other...
I can’t remember when I started to get absorbed by the films of Ronny Carlsson, Creature 2013 is no exception. He has made some brilliant movies and I was so taken by one of them (Recompense) that I decided to co-fund its release. Somehow I managed to mention that in every review I’ve made about his movies since then haha. I guess I’m proud of my contribution to film history! But it also means that...
The plot or storyline of Behind the Cross is really too hard to put down in words, so I won’t even try to capture it in a few sentences. Instead, I’ll incorporate as much as I can in the text below. I don’t think there’s one straight storyline that’s told here anyway, and I think the viewer brings lots of him- or herself into it. If you really want this to be about a straightforward...
I got Udbrud aka Outburst sent to me a few years ago. I reviewed it in Swedish but now I figure I want to put the review up here as well for all to see. To review in English makes everything so much easier for a broader audience to understand. So I made a translation. It will probably not be my last one, since I’m too lazy to watch and review several movies a week...
I actually never saw create your killer before. But now that I found it on Bloody Fierce Prouctions youtube channel I couldn’t resist. It’s about what you can expect. It’s funny and witty but doesn’t have a dense plot. But in 7 or 8 minutes long so there’s really not much time to develop anything anyway. But what’s created in those short minutes is really all you need. You get a killer story with all...
Once again it’s time to write about a short film directed by Jeremiah Kipp. I don’t know how many I have written about by now but it’s been a few over the years. They all have in common that they are very good. They may not be Perfect (pardon the pun) but they all hold a very very high standard. Perfect is no exception to this rule. The acting is really good even it there...
I got this film – Last Trip – sent to me for review. It’s the greatest thing when this happens since I can get to see something I wouldn’t watch otherwise. It can be almost anything, I really don’t care. I’ve gotten everything from extreme horror flicks to comedies over the years. I like alternate movies just like I’m fond of every other genre. Often I think it’s more interesting with independent films. They don’t...
When I was a kid the legend of the Madame in Black was spread around. I’m sure that it didn’t start then and there but that’s obviously my first contact with it. The basic idea is that you call her but saying her same in a bathroom mirror three times and she appears. In the variant I heard as a kid there were some more rules. The light needed to be out and the door...
Till Death Do We Rot is a short film by Emir Skalonja. As a short film, it’s always hard to bring out a complex story. There’s merely not the time to tell anything too advanced. I usually look for things that can trigger my feeling in this kind of movies rather than groundbreaking stories. In this case, there is a cool atmosphere and the shots are very beautiful, at least to begin with. Till Death Do...
Dismembered apparently has a subtitle – House of the Rotting Flesh ACT 2. If these movies have a legitimate relation is unknown. I have not seen any ACT 1, that’s for sure. But I think I’m fine. Movies like this aren’t famous for their brilliant and layered scripts. It’s more straightforward and in you face special effects. So I don’t think you need any plot information told in a previous film to fully get this....
