Every word spoken in Irish is a bullet fired for Irish freedom. A rebellious statement in the style of Trainspotting about fighting for a nation through music. Kneecap has incredible verve, a clever script playing with interpretations of reality and beautifully working relationship lines. The music teacher rules. Very…

A typical representative of the haunted house subgenre, not too different from the others. The dark history of the house and the curse of its ancient owner falls on Kate and apparently on her son and the friend who bought the house. Gradually reality is lost, mixed with hallucinations and dreams, and everything is…

Given the exhaustive synopsis, there is not much to add. It’s sort of a cross between Alien and The Thing, where a dangerous organism from another dimension gets into ours and has to be eliminated, easy to say, but it's a killer and has the upper hand. The search for the monkey is reminiscent of the search for the cat…

Sometimes less is more. With this film, Liam Neeson managed to resuscitate his action career, which had started to drift dangerously into purely B-movie action waters like Steven Seagal and others. In the Land of Saints and Sinners may have a straightforward plot and a predictable scheme, but it's also a beautifully…

Unnecessarily long and complicated witchcraft. Either give the cast with interesting characters or shorten it because I regularly fell asleep during some episodes. The last two episodes, however, ran like clockwork. Not that I liked everything I was getting, but it had momentum and was interesting. Kathryn Hahn and…

This episode is all about the special effects, which aren't bad, but the wait for them, despite the adequate running time, seems interminable. It starts with a severed hand starts, so one star for the effects, two for the gore. The most entertaining thing, besides the pen in the hand, is the triangle in the head, and…

A castle where the corridors are full of steaming mouths, eyes, breasts and jewels. A giallo that might as well take place on a stage. Once the inspector gets to investigating, the removal of the eyes (even the great Lucio Fulci would appreciate it), the film turns definitively into a conversational drama. There is…

The synopsis gives away the basic twist of the story, so we can't really talk about a spoiler, maybe a massive spoiler. And it's a great pity, because we are led slowly and carefully to the secret of the old castle. The arrival of Kitty and her Aunt Edith is right in the spirit of gothic horror movies. The gloom, fog…

Terence Fisher's horror movies are great, but this piece is better average for me. In the backdrop of a gothic horror movie – an ancient mansion – the grim reaper walks around with a scythe and occasionally takes someone down. It's no wonder even Jack, eager to marry Cynthia, falls under suspicion. Perhaps the…

A psychological drama about a group of young people locked up in a mental institution. The doctor may tell them they're locked up for their own good, but given who employs her, it's clear the goal is quite different. A very unbalanced film, if you tune in for sci-fi and expect a lots of visual effects. And when you…
