I got to watch The Ladykillers in the bus I was travelling. I truly loved it, but didn't catch the end because we arrived just a few minutes before it.
Today I searched for it on the Wikipedia and found out that it's a remake by the Cohen brothers, which makes sense now. I'm going to finish it today Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I don't like vampire fiction in general, but this one (Let the right one in) has an incredible atmosphere and a very interesting premise. It's a must watch if you're looking for a foreign film that has all the right elements in the right places. Keeping in the topic of foreign media, I recently watched a French TV serial called Les Revenants or The Returned. It's from 2012, very short (8 episodes) with a planned second season. There's an American remake in the works, and another American show with a very similar premise (it's called Resurrection) but please avoid those and stick to the original. Yes, it is a show where people who has been dead for a while return to life, it's not the most original premise out there but the execution is fantastic. Every episode feels important and while it's short, the story arc comes to a full circle and feels complete and conclusive. Grab a torrent and enjoy it, if you're in for some mystery, no filler episodes, an awesome soundtrack and beautiful French landscapes, Les Revenants is for you.

I watched The Inkeepers based on recommendations on this thread and I also watched The House of the Devil by Ti West. I do appreciate the atmosphere that The House of the Devil had, the characters and the build up was great, didn't like the ending though. As for The Innkeepers, well, I couldn't connect with the story or the characters. However... Diggin' on the filmography of this director led me to the movies of Adam Wingard. The first one is You're next. Man, what I ride. I loved it from beginning to end, it's a horror/trhiller that feels so fresh and captivating. I don't think that there's much room for spoilers, it doesn't really deviate from the common topics of those genres, but it certainly gives a fresh breath to them. After watching it I had to search for The Guest, his movie from last year. A stylish thriller that will certainly resonate with you if you have already watched and loved Drive (I mean, who doesn't?). Great use of soundtrack, nice build up and suspense and great acting. Watch both of them, they were a great start for my year in movies. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
