don't know it but i'll look for it now.

the nordic people seem to be able to marry humour to dire situations in a really organic and effective way.
I know american film and TV try to do it .. but they don't find the same mix.
There is no joy in the american way of doing it .. i cant articulate it properly...but the sense of dread is never lifted .. it's just heavy gallows humour..

in the swedish film it just felt more real. hard to explain

Capone, 2020. 6/10

Director: Josh Trank

No-Do or The Haunting (2009), directed by Elio Quiroga.

Kinda melodramatic ghost story - dark, a little too little tension, with an ominous mansion and spontaneously appearing / disappearing ghosts, slowly revealing secrets from the past... There we have some links to Catholic regime (even a neat reference to No-Do films), but again - for me it's more like a drama than a horror. ::wink::

Yes, I agree. It's like... sad / tragic and funny at the same time. There are many funny movies from Scandinavia, not to mention The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (2013) based on a best-selling book by Jonas Jonasson, or En ganske snill mann (which is A Somewhat Gentle Man, I believe) (2010), if you like Stellan Skarsgård. ::cool::

Flesh to Play, 2016. 7/10

Watched the last 1/4 of "I robot" on acid last night...couldn't even remember the movie at all. Not Smiths worst. Those robots are really starting to show their age though eh...

yeah I do - I think he's great

I have no shame in confessing - I love Mamma Mia too. :D

Gothika
 

haven't seen this since it first came out - couldn't remember a damn thing about it other than the fact that it wasn't very good.

It didn't get any better with time.

I met the girl who played the ghost at a con years ago - and years after the first time I saw the film - so I mainly watched it to see her

MULHOLLAND DRIVE (2001). Despite some extraneous scenes that don't add anything but running time, this David Lynch film starts well with two women , one an aspiring actress (Naomi Watts ::love::) , the other an amnesiac (Laura Elena Harring::love::::love::::love::::love::, she reminds me a lot of the older classic screen beauties) who meet and try to figure out why Laura has a large amount of cash , a blue key in her purse and why a particular name means something. Lots of noir elements-mysterious shadows, shady characters, wonderful photography-involved and an extremely sensual love scene between the two.

After that, the weird stuff begins and it's all but impossible to figure out what's going on. I'm all for ambiguity, but up to a point and many Lynch films often are too vague, turning it into a chore to watch. This has a good reputation and it's worth seeing, but pisses Me off knowing it could have been so much better. **

Pengabdi Setan (2017), directed by Joko Anwar.

I didn't find it as scary as in the reviews I'd read, but... it was kinda fun to watch. Pretty creepy ghost story with a hint of cult home invasion.

The Innocents (2016), directed by Anne Fontaine.

Based on real events as the note at the beginning of the movie says. Intense and touching. Worth noticing that Agata Buzek was superb in her role.

Turistas (2006), directed by John Stockwell.

It's better to watch it when you don't have great expectations - then it can be fun. Not a splatter, there isn't much gore... More like an adventure horror.

Ghost Stories (2017), directed by Jeremy Dyson, Andy Nyman.

Entertaining. Spooky with a quite typical British sense of humor. The story of a man who devoted himself to refuting deceptive psychics, now dealing with three unexplained mystery cases.

I loved Hell House LLC! I haven't seen the second part, but the third one was a little bit of a letdown - fun to watch, but not as good as the first one.

Cool! ::cool::
