(There’s an Indestructible Man poster in her bedroom, a film which is… really not very good.) Colletti is a fine lead, playing a creative and emotional teenager who respects the power of stories and has unexpectedly kooky taste in horror films. And there’s also no sense in critiquing the film for giving us exactly what we want by cutting to the chase.īut in a story as simplistic as “evil book, stories real, run from ghosts” it falls to the characters to keep our interest alive. ![]() Like Goosebumps and Annabelle Comes Home before it, it’s a Pandora’s Box framing device where the set-up is contrived but efficient, getting all the monsters out as quickly as possible because there’s no sense in belaboring the point. There’s very little to be said about the overarching story of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. And naturally, those stories come to life and drag each of the characters into their own personal hell. The house belonged to Sarah Bellows, a child-murderer who wrote terrifying tales of her own, and when Stella removes those scary stories (presumably to tell to the dark) from the basement, new stories start appearing in the book. Scary Stories stars Zoe Margaret Colletti ( Wildlife) as Stella, a teenaged horror enthusiast in 1968 who, on Halloween night, breaks into the spooky old house on the edge of town with her best friends. There’s no shortage of excellent scary moments in this movie, but you’ll have to trudge through some tedium to get there. Schwartz’s stories are intact, and the influence of Gammell’s signature imagery is everywhere. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the movie, comes courtesy of director André Øvredal ( The Autopsy of Jane Doe), and it’s an overlong, unconvincingly nostalgic framing device for several adaptations of the books’ most iconic tales. ![]() Even Schwartz’s most innocuous tales looked utterly unwholesome when viewed through Gammell’s eyes.īut now we have all-new eyes, and although they owe fealty to both Schwartz and Gammell’s original work, they seem a little hackier than before. Gammell’s disturbingly detailed horror imagery revealed itself, often quite unexpectedly, from Rorschach splatters of drippy ink, as though they were being painted right in front of our eyes by a diseased imagination. ![]() The book series featured short stories by Alvin Schwartz, and they were frequently gruesome, but Stephen Gammell’s eery illustrations were the real nightmare fuel. It’s difficult to say just how many people were kept up late at night as little kids, afraid to turn off their flashlights and emerge from under their blankets, for fear of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Hostel could've easily been a subversive take on the genre, criticizing it by showing too much nastiness, even by horror fans standards but also, with a polished plot, make it's good ideas work much better and making it's message come across. The material is there, but it's not handled well. Fortunently, it drops some very dark and twisted humor after the nastiness is introduced that saves the movie to some extent. The ambiance is well handled and the desperation palpable but we can't really connect too well with these characters all that much. ![]() The torture scenes work for some extent, because they are tense and leave some to your imagination. Come on, this is a typical old school video nasty flick, brought to modern audiences with all the best tool availables (Greg Nicotero anyone?), then why the hell have you backed of on the gore so much? Horror fans have flocked to see this one given the awesome promotion it had, sick and twisted posters and frightening premise but all that has kinda been thrown out of the window.

Durante una despedida de soltero en Las Vegas, cuatro amigos son seducidos por dos atractivas seoritas de compaa para que se les unan en una fiesta privada lejos de La Franja.

Las apuestas de alto riesgo toman un nuevo significado ms siniestro en este tercer captulo de la terrorfica serie de HOSTEL. That knowledge helped a lot on the inception of Hostel: the premise is original, having a bunch of pricks as protagonists was spot-on, treating Europe as a shady place is somewhat questionable but the beating on american culture and consumerism pays of later on. It's knowledge on the genre is undeniable but as craftsman he still leaves a lot to be desirable. ![]() Rating: R (Drug Use|Brutal Torture and Violence|Language|Strong Sexual Content)Įli Roth knows it's horror. When the three bachelors set off to investigate enticing rumors of a Slovakian hostel in a city populated by lusty women, they find themselves drawn unwittingly into a deadly game. While stopping in Amsterdam to indulge their tastes for drugs and sex, they meet Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson), a like-minded traveler from Iceland. One of the best films of 2005.Best friends Josh (Derek Richardson) and Paxton (Jay Hernandez) decide to spend the summer after college graduation on an all-out backpacking trip across Europe. Oh and there is copious amounts of extremely well done gratuitous nudity and sadistic gore. The leads are unlikable in a fun rather than irritating way (not easy to do) and the film has both a wonderful energy and plentiful surprises. (I generally have hated the whole torture motif in modern film for example Rest Stop.) Roth unlike his contemporaries shows the gore without those annoying zooming camera tricks. The movie actually makes torture scenes enjoyable again. What they find is, well I won't spoil it for you but they should have stuck with the marijuana brownies and overpriced Dutch hookers. They hear about a nirvana for sex and drugs in Slovakia and they pursue it as if they were traversing the Himalayas to find Shangri-La. The film starts with two American college students and an Icelandic hanger on enjoying some debauchery in Amsterdam. Thus he produces a film that could have been lensed in the freewheeling year of 1975 rather than PG-13 stuffy year of 2005.

People could argue that he's just "teasing," but I think we all know that he's NOT, plus he killed a guy already in cold blood, so who knows what depths this man would be capable of if he felt so inclined? Honestly, I can't tell if this book is more ridiculous or terrifying.And all of the threads introduced in the end, just to squeeze two more books out of this franchise.bleh. Oh, cool, Eva's new husband is already making veiled threats at kidnapping her. Eva tells Gideon the entire book that she's not ready - and let's be real, they have only been together, what, a few months? Maybe four or five at the most? And he still pushes her into marriage, which really felt like bullying on his part, and told her that he would have kept her there until she'd agreed anyway. I know she wants to "help" and "heal" him, but she's ignoring her own issues in the process, and that's just not good.They also tie the knot unexpectedly, and secretly, while on a weekend getaway. But she just goes along with the whole restraint thing because it's what Gideon wants. Eva says, in her mind, that she doesn't like being restrained in sex, and she's only allowed Gideon to do that, and only with his hands and his body. There's an instance, for example, where Gideon has some restraints custom-made for Eva and doesn't tell her anything about it. But Eva was also raped as a child, and she's just letting him run roughshod all over her. He was raped as a child, so he wants to have control in almost everything now, so I sort of understand that. Okay then.I have some major problems with Gideon. And then they get together super quick and no one bats an eye. But everyone except Cary is apparently blind to this. And now they're trying to pretend that they are still broken up, although it is painfully obvious to anyone who remotely pays attention to Eva that she's still with Gideon. Gideon made a huge, elaborate, ridiculous "cover story" for them to prove that he would have no motive to kill Nathan by "breaking up with" Eva. I suppose I just want to see how bad things get - and believe me, just when you think that you've hit the bottom, the author proves you wrong!Gideon killed Nathan Barker, Eva's former step-brother who was responsible for repeatedly raping her when she was young, because he was trying to blackmail and/or hurt her. I mean, the romance between Gideon and Eva is so much like an unhealthy trainwreck that I roll my eyes until I'm practically dizzy, and yet I still keep reading. And just when I thought that this series couldn't get more ridiculous, this book comes along!Look, I will say that the series is readable. ![]() Up to 50% off iOS apps Sale! 2021.05.25 "Melodic Techno" : A New Sound Expansion Pack for KORG Module is now available. 2021.06.30 KRONOS Sound Libraries: 26 nieuwe libraries uitgebracht 2021.06.25 miniKORG 700FS Sound Librarian is now available! 2021.06.17 "Tropical Pop" : A New Sound Expansion Pack for KORG Module is Now Available.
