Candyman

2021
8
Director: 
Nia DaCosta

SYNOPSIS: 

Anthony, a visual artist, meets a veteran who exposes the true story behind Candyman. Eager to use these macabre details for paintings, he unknowingly unleashes a terrifying wave of violence.

REVIEW: 

Sequel to "Candyman" from 1992, based on the story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker which was in turn inspired by a popular belief.
Candyman is an iconic character especially for African-American audiences, a sort of Freddy Krueger but with a big hook instead of blades.
I loved the original film, but this one is not bad at all, a sharp and ruthless film, crossed by a constant and growing uneasiness, without an excessive use of splatter it is still visually hallucinatory.
Excellent direction by the unknown Nia Da Costa and the performances of the cast.

Halloween Ends

2022

The film closes the David Gordon Green trilogy that began in 2018 and continued in 2021 with Halloween Kills, it is branded Blumhouse and this should be the last chapter (but will it really be like that we all wonder) of the saga that began in 1978 by John Carpenter. The era of Michael Myers ends, the most irrepressible killer in the history of horror cinema ever, mentor of every bloodthirsty masked homicidal maniac who came after him. There is certainly the intent to pay homage to the dark atmospheres of the progenitor film but also the desire to surprise, by inserting an... Read More

Immaculate

2024

Religious horror without demoniacs or exorcisms, played by the new American movie star Sydney Sweeney who also produces here and is the fulcrum of this film... she is perfect in the role with her angelic face that however in the ending, now a cult of this film, is transfigured thus becoming a great "scream queen" almost on the level of Isabelle Adjani in "Possession". Bloody tribute to the European horror of the 70s but more interested in the psychological aspect of the genre, it has the merit of showing without reticence the ecclesiastical community as a bunch of...

The Deep House

2021

Yet another reinterpretation of haunted houses but rather original because the ghosts emerge from the bottom of the abyss this time. A high-tension film that involves you in first person... together with the protagonists we will always be underwater and we will feel like we can't breathe, we will feel trapped without the possibility of resurfacing... Highly not recommended for those who suffer from hydrophobia. The film is technically excellent and visually very beautiful and even if the story is simple and the characters stereotyped it still does not bore, perhaps also... Read More

Old

2021

Adaptation of a French graphic novel "Sand Castle" that Shyamalan wanted to make at all costs but with little means available. It is a low-budget film, and this is evident from the, unfortunately, anonymous cast. Too bad with at least one star as the protagonist surely the final result would have been even more interesting, however excellent psychological thriller/horror, distressing and at times chilling even if there is little of true horror ... It is an allegorical film that makes you reflect on critical themes for everyone such as the nature of time that passes... Read More

Scream VI

2023

Sixth chapter of "Scream", and I would say it would be better to end it here, so as not to bore and above all disappoint those, like me, who strongly loved the film created in 1996 by the genius of Wes Craven, already a cult author with "Nightmare". That film invented a real genre of its own, mixing together slasher, teen movie and black comedy, and became a cult object for the millennial generation and beyond. Returning to this last episode that moves the story from the province to the big city in an attempt to make itself more fascinating in the eyes of teenagers,... Read More
