Essential Killing (2010)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...alKilling1.jpg

There's very few dialogs in the movie and particularly Vincent Gallo portraying the protagonist has none...a terrorist who initially captured but luckily escaped and struggle every moment for survival as he finds himself in a forbidding snowbound climate; a totally unknown territory for him. But he avoids his pursuers by every little chance he gets...even when its 'essential' he doesn't hesitate to kill or forcefully drinks a baby's most 'essential' food from his breast-feeding mother in hunger (a jaw dropping sequence)...!

Though aside from that there's nothing much happens in the film where the ending comes suddenly & that may turns out to be somewhat 'disappointing' for some viewers but I must say just for that harrowing sequence it's an essential viewing.

Venona para las hadas aka Poison for the Fairies (1984)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...heFairies1.jpg

An amazing film from Mexico that beautifully explores the belief system & reality of two children that slowly takes them into a drastic consequence through manipulation & fear. Love the way the director every time excludes all the adults from the screen in the film.

Frightmare (1974)

It's quite unusual but interesting to see a film/story which follows a psycho-Cannibal family gets a treatment like this one. Liked it.

Set after the outbreak of a deadly viral epidemic, two brothers along with their respective partners are travelling towards a secluded area in order to live safely without coming into contact with the infected...which of course, they do throughout the course of the movie.
A popular theory seems to be that this is a zombie film, it's not. The infected aren't undead, they aren't in any way superhuman or flesh hungry - In fact the larger threat in this reality is the "normal" people and how they react to the situation...ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances kind of thing - Breakdown of civilisation incited by panic.
So yeah it's really more of a drama/thriller I suppose, it's not without it's exciting and terrifying moments though, with situations presenting themselves that require the characters featured to make some terrible decisions, the choice between humanity and survival coming into play...it's a pretty emotionally charged, and scary film, acheiving it's scares not through cheap jumps, rather by introducing ideas and concepts that will play on the mind of the viewer.

If you've seen films along the lines of "Right at your door", or enjoy films that introduce visions of a morbid reality, you'd probably enjoy this film.
Good for what it was.
I'd give it a 7/10

I thought that movie was pretty boring. It just didnt do enough for me.

I have that movie. Not bad. Not great or anything but i liked it.

"Whiskey And Ghosts" (1976)

Plot: IMDB

A snake-oil salesman is chased across the desert by a gang of Mexican bandits. He finds out, however, that he is being protected by the spirits of Davey Crockett, Pecos Bill and Johnny Appleseed.

Phantom's Review: Truly god awful supernatural western comedy. The film fails on all counts. avoid it like the plague.
