Preservation

Preservation - review
2014
7
Director: 
Christopher Denham

SYNOPSIS: 

An anesthesiologist (Wrenn Schmidt) must stir her animal senses when she, her better half and her brother by marriage turn into the quarry of concealed hunters who need to transform them all into trophies.

REVIEW: 

So this is somewhat of a spoiler, however the "motif" of this motion picture is the killers are young people - however I'm certain you likely made sense of that when you read they ride bikes.
That all by itself is insufficient to destroy this film. What is, in any case, is their appearing invulnerability (when it's helpful, obviously). The previously mentioned Sean is a previous military veteran who, at a certain point, hits one of the children in the head with the handle of his rifle most likely five or six times. Not exclusively does the executioner get up as though nothing happened, Sean doesn't have enough sense (remember, he is prepared close by to hand battle) to make certain the person is unarmed, dead, oblivious, or any of the above. Rather, he walks out on him. Another scene sees a child bounce back from a flat out beating as though nothing has happened. At first I thought maybe the masks made them strong, but this is not the situation. It's scene after scene of this, and unpleasant subplots that go no place, alongside unlikable characters, that make this motion picture hard to sit through. The quest for the assassins at last is totally mind blowing and ludicrous, however the child interfering with a slaughtering to answer a call from his mother was engaging. I had high trusts in this film (for reasons unknown) however Preservation at last puts on a show of being an irregular blend of Eden Lake and Wrong Turn.

Among the Living

2022

A Survival Horror Amidst Northern Shadows. "Among the Living" presents itself as a visceral survival horror that utilizes its isolated and wild setting to build constant tension. The film attempts to stand out in the overcrowded "infected" subgenre by focusing less on frantic action and more on the claustrophobic atmosphere of wide-open spaces. The film's strength lies in its aesthetics: cold, bluish, and desaturated cinematography that conveys a sense of frost and despair. The poster itself, featuring the towering image of a screaming creature looming over the... Read More

Dark Harvest

2023

The Aesthetics of Evil and American Folklore Dark Harvest is far from a standard supernatural slasher; it is a work that utilizes the classic iconography of Halloween to stage a fierce and visually hypnotic social critique. Director David Slade (well-known for 30 Days of Night) confirms his mastery of dark atmospheres, transforming the Illinois cornfields into a claustrophobic labyrinth illuminated by an almost artificial moon. Direction and Visual Impact The cinematography plays a fundamental role. As seen in the poster, the contrast between the deep black of the... Read More

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

2026

Ready or Not 2 – A Return to Blood and Gold   If the first chapter was a breath of fresh air in the horror-comedy landscape, Ready or Not 2 manages the nearly impossible feat of raising the stakes. The film recaptures the grotesque and adrenaline-pumping tone we loved, transforming survival into a true form of ballistic art. The direction is impeccable in managing the pacing: there isn't a single dull moment. The cinematography moves away from the warm, suffocating tones of the manor to embrace a colder, grittier contrast, where Grace’s (Samara Weaving) white... Read More

I Sell the Dead

2008

A Masterpiece of Macabre Craftsmanship While modern horror often loses itself in soulless CGI and predictable jump scares, "I Sell the Dead" (2008) by Glenn McQuaid emerges as a beacon of creativity and genuine love for the genre. It is a film that drips with passion for classic Gothic cinema, channeling the foggy atmospheres of Hammer Films and the atmospheric spirit of Amicus, while injecting a massive dose of dark humor and modern charisma. The absolute strongest point is the aesthetic. The movie feels like an EC Comic brought to life: the colors are saturated,... Read More

Return to Silent Hill

2026

A Descent into James Sunderland’s Abyss The return of Christophe Gans behind the camera for the Silent Hill franchise is not just a cinematic event for horror fans; it is an act of artistic reparation. After years of uninspired sequels, Return to Silent Hill sets the ambitious goal of adapting the most beloved and philosophical chapter of the video game saga: the second one. A Direction of Atmosphere and Symbolism Gans moves away from a superficial action-horror approach to focus on an extremely introspective narrative. The camera moves with a calculated, almost...
