Review: Don't Breathe (2016)

Don't Breathe is an average thriller film with quite tense atmosphere. There are not that many horror elements, but in this particular film I enjoyed the way the film plays with the sensory perception of the characters. Such scenes were the ones best shot and best highlighting the overall idea of the film. However, the characters do not stand out much - apart from the antagonist, and in the end I was not sure who I should be rooting for to survive, because to some extent, the blind guy was in the right to shoot them (as mentioned in the movie itself, too). The film tries to bring in a very sad story of the girl lead character, but it just feels forced and as if there could have been another way to escape her fate, thus I did not agree with her actions.  As for the plot, there are some original and unexpected twists and the action going on is enough to keep you entertained as the film is quite short.  5/10

Review: Train to Busan 2 (2020)

  My rating: 4 I consider Train to Busan one of the best zombie horror film, thus the disappointment while watching the second part was huge. Train to Busan 2 is more of an action film. Despite that it seems that it takes characters forever to make a decision or move away when they should. It just has way too many plot holes for me to enjoy, even though when the action scenes of the film were going on, it did not seem that bad. So to speak though, the film seems a bit familiar to the not-so-good episodes of The Walking Dead. The focus on people being the evil in the postapocalyptic world is not working in this case though, there is simply not enough time to dive deep enough into the evil nature of the said characters.  From the visual point of view, zombies are yet again portrayed very well. But we do not get to see much of them, as majority of action happens either when fighting humans or when the protagonists are in a car. Car chasing scenes were done with special effects th...

Review: Bone Tomahawk (2015)

  Rating: 7 Bone Tomahawk is a story from one of my favorite eras to watch. The plot is kind of basic, yet still interesting, with just a few holes in it that did not seem to bother me at all. Apart from a quite good (even though overly repeated) story, the movie cast was very well chosen and the actors just fit the characters they are portraying. As far as the dialogues are concerned, there are some funny remarks, some witty parts, and apart from final scenes in the cave I enjoyed the dialogues a lot.  As for the horror elements, they are mostly build on gore scenes portrayed in the second half of the film. And these were really authentically portrayed making the scenes uneasy to be watched. Second half of the film plays on the note of cannibalism and is very disturbing. But overall, there are not many gory scenes.  The film is nice one to watch as it blends more genres together, which we do not see quite often with this theme.
