REVIEW: 

These days playing on Netflix is the chilling outside experience, The Ritual. Directed by David Bruckner written by Joe Barton, the film bases on four school companion's stumble into the forested areas following the passing of one of their classmates. Try not to be tricked by the entire outdoors in the forested areas situation. The Ritual does not endless supply of the typical repulsiveness tropes that kind groups of onlookers have seen on numerous occasions. 

Alongside their outdoors equip, this team of folks brings along a considerable measure of psychological weight on their trip also. The Ritual is a balance of suspenseful thrill ride and beast film. The characters are multi-layered and extremely all around acted. The apprehension inside themselves, and in addition among the companions, turns the pressure level on the whole film up an indent. Rafe Spall emerges with his splendid depiction of Luke, who was observer to his companion's murder. Spall shows an extensive variety of feelings successfully from despondency, torment, blame, dread and outrage. His execution gives genuine human profundity to Luke. This improves the part of The Ritual that works extremely well, the association of the gathering of people to the characters. With characters that are relatable, the watcher really thinks about this gathering of young fellows and feel their dread. At last, the mankind that is deficient in numerous blood and guts movies, The Ritual can accomplish. At the point when all hellfire descends upon this team, we really mind. 

Based off of Norwegian folklore, The Ritual gives a frightful dull tone, with the woods itself having a major impact in film. This film is charming, many-sided and all around created by Bruckner. All things considered, it additionally gives the dread factor and gut for the bad-to-the-bone repulsiveness fan. In case you're searching for a fascinating blood and gore movie with a profound story, help yourself out and look at The Ritual.

Ghostland

2018

10 years after the traumatic and now cult work "Martyrs", French director Pascar Laugier returns with a rural horror film -home invasion- that takes place within the walls of an old house populated by dolls and lace. Given the director, I expected to find myself in front of another film at the limits of endurance, instead the film is violent and dark but without useless, in my opinion, splatter sequences. The fear runs on a thin thread, touching very well the keys of morbidity, madness and dream. The director has fun disorienting the viewer by making him believe that... Read More

You Should Have Left

2020

Psychological thriller based on the novel of the same name by German Daniel Kehlmann, who in turn was inspired by the literary cult "House of Leaves" but wrote a much simpler and shorter, but still interesting, story. Successful transposition especially for the suggestive and disturbing dreamlike atmospheres that are created inside the mysterious and beautiful house that is the real protagonist of the film. Maybe it won't be scary enough for fans of the genre but I liked it like this, instead I didn't find the psychological characterization of the characters... Read More

2019

Direct sequel to Stanley Kubrick's cult film "The Shining" based on Stephen King's novel and always hated by him for the many liberties taken in the screenplay compared to the original text. Directed by Mike Flanagan, a horror expert (Oculus 2013). Unfortunately, the comparison with the 1980 film does not hold up. The narration is too classic and tasteless and the nostalgia factor does not fascinate as it would like, furthermore the film is too long and slow. But the many horror and supernatural scenes are of great quality and are truly disturbing, so much so that they... Read More

Nicolas Cage in this film does not say a word from beginning to end, making him even more convincing, the film is completely focused on him, and I say fortunately because it is certainly not a masterpiece, but something original with crude humor, vaguely perverse and in its own way intelligent. A great and safe entertainment for teenagers this B movie where we find a lot of action, splatter, the Final Girl and the hero / anti-hero, in a disturbing setting, with terrifying but also funny monsters, all reminiscent of the low budget films of the 80s. The splatter... Read More

Bones and all

2022

Adaptation of the novel of the same name by Camille DeAngelis. A cannibal love story... about the need to find someone who knows how to love us for who we are. Luca Guadagnino returns to unconventional horror, after the 2018 remake Suspiria, and does so with a coming-of-age story, delicate and bloody at the same time, very deep and very bloody, suitable for those looking for horror but also emotion. A film that certainly cannot leave you indifferent, it is a film with two souls, the purely romantic one for girls and the dark, cynical and bestial one. A masterpiece,... Read More
