REVIEW: 

The heroes Elliot (Douglas Smith), Sasha (Cressida Bonas) and John (Lucien Laviscount) are generally wooden in their acting, however they can most likely be excused for working with a dull plot and dreary discourse. They're additionally dominatingly TV performers, and not especially refined ones at that, so to seek after them to convey the motion picture is excessive. 

Indeed, even the working of the Bye Man's legend does nothing for the watcher, since the figure of speech has been played out by such a large number of various films that have likewise improved (Candyman, anybody?). 

A decent blood and guts film, however, can bring even average plot and acting through tension, brilliant cinematography and a decent soundtrack, yet The Bye Man does none of that. 

Great ghastliness can help a poor plot and acting through cinematography and sound, Bye Man does not. 

The shots are similar ones you've found in each other blood and guts movie. The soundtrack sounds like stock "anticipation music" from any old video altering programming. Like the plot itself, advancement is something that has never crossed the executive's brain, with the film clinging entirely to the attempted and tried course, regardless of the possibility that for this situation it appears to be more similar to tired and testing. 

There's no gut, so the alarms are left totally helpless before the chief's capacity to shock. Be that as it may, since there's nothing we haven't seen some time recently, we're never truly astonished and, therefore, we're never frightened. 

Excepting a little and entirely superfluous cameo from Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity from The Matrix arrangement), there's literally nothing to cheer in the motion picture and you're in reality left pulling for the beast to simply get on with it so the motion picture closes. 

Would it be advisable for you to go see it? Just in case you're endeavoring to get over a dread of blood and gore flicks, in light of the fact that The Bye Man dilutes the class to its fundamental tropes and conveys it so lifelessly that even the most effortlessly terrified individuals can at last watch an "awfulness" flick without jumping. In case you're really an aficionado of repulsiveness however, simply say bye to the motion picture through and through.

La Reliquia - a movie by Paolo Martini

La Reliquia

2020

Disturbing Rosemary's Baby in southern sauce, "La reliquia" (seen online at the Fantafestival in Rome) is a successful insight into the practices and rituals of southern Italy. The theme is the atmosphere is very interesting and original, but the narrative suffers from the short duration. The cast of actors is exceptional, mostly comedians, but perfectly in part in histrionic (Paolantoni) or slimy (Rizzo) roles. The beautiful and evocative photography creates a dark atmosphere. Effective direction. Note of merit: the use of the lunar music by Egisto Macchi, author of... Read More

Gretel & Hansel

2020

Anyone familiar with the original versions of classic fairy tales like “Hansel and Gretel” already knows that they have lots of horror movie potential. As a rule though, most attempts to capture these tales on film tend to miss the mark. It’s clear from the conspicuous reversal of the titular names that Gretel & Hansel hopes to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack right from the get-go, but does it actually do the job, or are you better off spending 90 minutes of your time on some other film? Gretel & Hansel is the brainchild of writer/director Oz... Read More
