In terms of gore and action, it was quite similar to Warnes Bros. Animation's other release of this year, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge. The prime difference being that Deathstroke had a better storyline whereas SC's animation was much better.

It's the movie that inspired the 90s trend of psychological thrillers like Basic Instinct, Fear, The Last Seduction and The Crush. This movie plays with the deep dark secrets of the human mind, exploring sexual jealousy and it's role in triggering psychopathic tendencies. Phenomenal acting from Glenn Close, which keeps us hooked. Michael Douglas does a great job too. <br />
<br />
The climax is thrilling and action packed. A very memorable film and it's contribution to the psychological thriller genre is undeniable.</p>Nisar Sufihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16750730149765780796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787509851528928892.post-32759870458025062642021-08-04T17:52:00.003+05:002021-08-04T17:52:26.551+05:00Netflix's Raat Akeli Hai (2020) Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Another Netflix film which doesn't disappoint and makes proper usage of NF regulars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte.

This is one of the greatest thrillers I have ever seen in my life. Period. What a classic! The off-screen rivalry between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford makes it's way in the silver screen and what we get to see is a magnificent classic. <br />

Great acting from both the stars and a solid script is what makes this a legendary movie. Can't praise this movie enough.

<br />
This one is a good entry in a long list of thriller movies of the 90s like 'Scream' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. <br />
<br />
It's a very suspenseful and chilling movie with brutal killings that is a must watch for horror lovers. The references to age old urban legends and the killer using them for killing the victims is a unique and original concept that's really interesting. It's hard for the viewer to guess who the killer is until the very end of the movie. A great watch.

Arnold Schwarzenegger gave the performance of a lifetime, but he can't be deemed the saving grace of the movie, because writer John Scott 3 did not leave anything to be salvaged from this desolation land. <br />

40 years ago today on July 10th 1981, Escape from New York made its debut in theaters in the United States of America. It is a 1981 American science fiction action film co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter. <br />
<br />
It stars Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Donald Pleasence, Ernest Borgnine, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton. The film's storyline, set in the near-future world of 1997, concerns a crime-ridden United States, which has converted Manhattan Island in New York City into the country's maximum-security prison. Air Force One is hijacked by insurgents and is deliberately crashed in New York City. Ex-soldier and current federal prisoner Snake Plissken (Russell) is given just 24 hours to go in and rescue the President of the United States, after which, if successful, Snake will be pardoned.<br />
<br />
Carpenter wrote the film in the mid-1970s in reaction to the Watergate scandal. After the success of Halloween (1978), he had enough influence to begin production and filmed it mainly in St. Louis, Missouri, on an estimated budget of $6 million. Debra Hill and Larry J. Franco served as the producers. The film was co-written by Nick Castle, who had collaborated with Carpenter by portraying Michael Myers in Halloween. Released in the United States on July 10, 1981, the film received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, grossing more than $25 million at the box office. <br />
<br />
The film was nominated for four Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film and Best Direction. The film became a cult classic and was followed by a sequel, Escape from L.A. (1996), which was also directed and written by Carpenter and starred Russell, but was much less favorably received.<br />

I found the plot hard to follow as you really need to watch very closely and a few too many dark scenes to comprehend.</p>
<br />
The film stars John Goodman, Ashton Sanders, Alan Ruck and Vera Farmiga, <br />
the plot follows a young man who participates in the Phoenix âChicagoâ resistance who conspires to rebel against an alien race that has invaded and occupied Earth, the aliens enforce strict martial law on all humans. If you disobey you are either liquidated or taken off-world as slave labour. <br />
<br />
We never learn where the aliens are from or what exactly are their plans? Average scifi film watched online đ tagline of the film âLight a match. Ignite a war. #covidlockdown2021<div><br /></div><div>The Rating: 2 out of 4.</div>Nisar Sufihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16750730149765780796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787509851528928892.post-25679345908081502432021-07-28T16:05:00.003+05:002021-07-28T16:24:14.478+05:00Pig (2021) ReviewNicolas Cage's latest offering, Pig (2021), doesn't live up to the hype.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzC0YJanN4bIZDsIWJ_sA3jR1GTnopXxvaMUyzMQtrXx3A67HXKOSLABLVSPKV_Eq6gEjNVWarxxA9fFrTCqVCm-WYXl8YSuE8sY4LK9hEHrHymtKTB3TUbn9m3mBro7cwB50TkrmuLj0/s384/Pig_poster.jpeg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="259" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzC0YJanN4bIZDsIWJ_sA3jR1GTnopXxvaMUyzMQtrXx3A67HXKOSLABLVSPKV_Eq6gEjNVWarxxA9fFrTCqVCm-WYXl8YSuE8sY4LK9hEHrHymtKTB3TUbn9m3mBro7cwB50TkrmuLj0/s320/Pig_poster.jpeg.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I feel like most of Cage's previous indie releases outshine Pig in a lot of ways.

Though I have got mostly positive reviews about this one, I personally didn't like it that much. It's supposed to be a 'Dark Comedy', but the comic elements in the movie seemed forced and ineffective, in my opinion. It's a bit too long and at times felt dragged....but, yeah, some parts of it are genuinely thrilling and entertaining. To be honest, it isn't my cup of tea overall.</span><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://yts.mx/movies/the-people-under-the-stairs-1991" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD</a></h1>Nisar Sufihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16750730149765780796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787509851528928892.post-3791822391639762302021-07-28T14:17:00.004+05:002021-07-28T14:20:33.713+05:00Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1 and 2 - FREE DOWNLOAD<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We get a different type of creature horror and the whole plot is very engaging. The characters are likable and the film spends a considerable amount of time in developing the characters. the acting is fantastic and believable. It has great thrill and suspense that doesn't fail to entertain. Though sometimes the gore is too much to take. A jumpy horror movie that is very enjoyable. A must watch.</p><p>The Rating: 3 out of 4.</p>Nisar Sufihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16750730149765780796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787509851528928892.post-85717418106400076572021-06-18T06:34:00.010+05:002021-06-25T06:08:10.241+05:00Interview with Gemma Files on the Elements of Occultism present in Ari Aster's Filmography<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gemma-Files/e/B003A6EPGG/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gemma Files</a> is a must-read author.

Two years later I sent three film reviews and a couple of pitches in to the managing editor at eye Weekly, a new Toronto paper, where I became first a stringer, then a film reviewer. I wrote film criticism for eye and other venues for the next nine or so years, branching out near the end into teaching screenwriting, TV series development and film history at two Toronto film schools. At the same time, I began writing and placing short horror fiction, winning an International Horror Guild award for my story âThe Emperor's Old Bonesâ in 1999. In 2001 I began to teach full-time, but stopped shortly after my son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, at which point I became his full-time caregiver. In 2010 I published my first novel, A Book of Tongues, and in 2015 I won a Shirley Jackson Award for Experimental Film, which also won a 2016 Sunburst Award for Best Novel. I still write about film here and there, mainly for my own amusement. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Q2.

Annie is particularly disturbed to discover her mother's funeral being attended by many people she's never met before, and later tells a grief counselling group she attends that she held her mother responsible for her brother's suicide. Annie's husband Steve, a psychiatrist, tries hard to support his wife, but is increasingly exhausted by what he sees as her default state of paranoid hysteria. This only increases when Charlie is decapitated in a terrible accident, leaving Annie inconsolable and Peter guilt-ridden over what he sees as his part in his sister's death.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Plunged into mourning, Annie finds solace in a developing friendship with Joan, a woman she meets at her grief counselling group. She tells Joan that Peter doesn't trust her because once when she was sleepwalking she woke up having covered both the kids and herself in paint thinner, holding a lit match in her hand. Joan teaches Annie a spell apparently meant to give her the ability to contact Charlie's ghost, but when she tests it out at home Annie only manages to make Peter even more scared of her, while Steve becomes convinced she's having a nervous breakdown. As the family's already-unstable dynamics collapse, a series of increasingly mysterious and terrifying events leads Annie to the conclusion that her mother was part of a cult who worshipped the demon Paimon, and intended to help him incarnate himself on earth through inhabiting a human body...first that of Charlie, rejected as a host because she was female, then that of Peter. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Q3. In our FB chat we discussed how there are many spheres of occultism. What are the occult elements present in Hereditary, exactly?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Gemma: The type of magic that Annie's mother Ellen and her cult practice is called goety (Paimon is named in the grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon, in a section called âArs Goetiaâ [arts of goety]), which involves directly invoking specific demons to do âthe will of the operatorâ in return for certain favours. It's a sub-set of the type of magic known as haute magie (âhigh magicâ), which can be used for either negative or positive purposesâa scientific sort of magic, rather than either the black or white sort. Practitioners of this kind of magic are just as likely to invoke angels, elementals or genius locii (small gods of place/animistic spirits) as they are to invoke demons, using spells that draw on faith and depend on a balance of powers but are also very distinct and complex, almost like algorithms. A good example of a movie built around haute magie would be Liam Gavin's A Dark Song (2016), in which the biggest threat to the main character turns out to be her own dishonesty about why she wants to complete a particular working. A magician of this sort needs to be almost unemotional about their practice, seeking knowledge for its own sake rather than using magic for personal rewardâDr John Dee is their role model, not Aleister Crowley. But of course, Ellen's cult isn't interested in anything that detached: They want money, protection, power and âgood familiars.â If they were calling on Lucifer rather than Paimon, they'd be straight-up Satanists.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now, as I recall from various interviews, Ari Aster was really only interested in Paimon as a sort of occult MacGuffin, something he could use to put pressure on Annie with, creating the sort of panphobic worldview he admired in 1970s conspiracy thrillers like The Parallax View or Marathon Man (for fascists, substitute Paimonites). So Hereditary definitely owes a lot more to movies like Rosemary's Baby than it does to A Dark Song, or even to Hammer's The Devil Rides Out (1968 [the same year I was born], based on a novel by Crowley associate Dennis Wheatley). But the lingo is still there, and I think it's worth exploring. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Q4. Does Hereditary add anything new to the horror movie genre, or is it overrated?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Gemma: âOverratedâ is a somewhat of a useless word, I've always thought, when analyzing anything to do with a movie outside of its most immediate impact. I mean, within the history of A24 (the company who produced it), Hereditary reigns unchallenged as its box-office champion, having garnered $80 million in theatrical release on a budget of $10 million. Is it better than similar movies that came before it? People who saw it first will probably think so. What I personally love about Hereditaryâeven though it's a very head-driven and somewhat off-putting film in terms of its theatricality, its use of chiaroscuro and deep focus wide-shots that force you to squint to hunt out all the details, some of which only come into focus on a second or even third viewingâis its use of emotion, allowing Peter the full range of paralytic guilt and terror, Annie an entire spectrum of transformative rage and grief. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Aster makes us care deeply for these flawed, somewhat awful people, then destroys them utterly; he turns Steve into a cooked corpse, Annie into a monster, Peter into a wiped-clean husk inhabited by something completely beyond human understanding...petty and creepy, a tongue-clucking do-over god surrounded by headless carrion abasing itself in front of his first version's totem-pole, not to mention a coven of naked worshippers who don't understand that they're nothing but dolls in a miniature to this thing they've called up, just an entirely disposable means to an end. It's vicious, that ending, but it feels somehow right in a way that most sting-in-the-tail horror movie reversal just don't, because Aster's been building it from scene one, frame one. Which is why Hereditary rewards re-watching in a way that a lot of similar films simply don't; it's something to admire as much as to enjoy, a lesson in filmmaking, a genuine work of (dark) art. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Q5. I am sure you must have seen and analyzed Ari Asterâs sophomore attempt, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8772262/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Midsommar (2019)</a>.

It's beautifully put together, especially in terms of mis-en-scene and production design, and the acting is similarly awards-worthy (Florence Pugh's, in particular). But on reconsideration, I don't feel it's as strong as Hereditary, and I'm not entirely sure why. It rings to me somewhat as though Aster wasn't completely sure what he wanted to say with itâthe overall themes are muddier than Hereditary's, possibly because folk horror can easily get caught up in Lovecraftian Othering if you don't make sure to turn it into a sidelong critique of your own culture. Sauna and Left Bank work beautifully because they were made by Finnish and Belgian directors, rather than American ones; The Grudge works best when it runs Ju-On through the filter of its American main characters' disassociation from Japanese culture, a strategy I feel at least slightly supported by the fact that they kept original director Takashi Shimizu around for the remake. And then there's The Ring as opposed to Ringu, where âfrolic in brine/goblins be thineâ and the Izu Peninsula are reframed per a very New England sensibility; Samara becomes some sort of inexplicable Stephen Kingish mad science experiment, while her home is now located on a coastal island with a lighthouse Robert Eggers would absolutely adore. Aster had to make up the Harga, or felt he did, and much as I enjoy the result, you can definitely see the seams. The best part about it is his deadpan refusal to tell us whether or not we should feel happy about where things end upâit's a bit like Unforgiven, in that way. (âDeserve's got nothin' to do with it, kid.â) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Q6.

The Good: The movie not only permits the audience to relate to what's happening with the characters on screen. But also allows us to predict what would be the outcome of each individual's decision. 10 Cloverfield Lane is written smartly and the direction by first-timer Dan Trachtenberg complements that creativity.<div><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Mary Elizabeth Winstead delivers in the lead role</h3><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5-FmogY_NL1zJsjnhjwlXVoSyTZ4IAvMOCaU_0Xn1icLLSXV8EyHkGBUZL3TIIn_Ez9hw2mpYN_rV6Bqccrivvt30mkBctuvA81_CaRRiWaIUh3v6W4Dh_OVHEpBHNYrwNLhkl2EvI4k/s512/Mary+Elizabeth+Winstead+1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5-FmogY_NL1zJsjnhjwlXVoSyTZ4IAvMOCaU_0Xn1icLLSXV8EyHkGBUZL3TIIn_Ez9hw2mpYN_rV6Bqccrivvt30mkBctuvA81_CaRRiWaIUh3v6W4Dh_OVHEpBHNYrwNLhkl2EvI4k/s320/Mary+Elizabeth+Winstead+1.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br />
<br />
At one point, I was so intrigued by what was happening in the bunker itself that I forget the flick included an exterior setting. The cinematography is not too dark and that makes us adjust our eyes to both to the cast's expressions and the props set up in the bunker shots.<br />
<br />
The paramount aspect of this shocker is the character development. All three figures are completely distinct in personality from each other. And that's what makes their every decision even more enticing to witness. <br />
<br />
The equilibrium of characterization and drama with an emphasis on shock value renders it one of the most unique ventures in its respective genre. The performances are also memorable. With John Goodman leading the talent with his spectacular portrayal of Howard. John Gallagher Jr. was also convincing while Mary Elizabeth Winstead had both the flair and the looks that qualified her at the top of the billing list. <br />
<br />
The Bad: 10 Cloverfield Lane might be a perfect example of a thriller but it's still a tad far from perfection. The ending is anti-climatic and after finishing the feature you'll be thinking of several contrasting ways in which it could have concluded. <br />
<br />
Also, the last 20 minutes were not as entertaining as the hair-raising initial hour. This exhibition finished at a low note leaving a minority of plot-holes unexplained. <br />
<br />
The Verdict: If you ignore the ending, albeit fancy it, then it's your own personal choice. In my opinion, 10 Cloverfield Lane still manages to be indelible, and that is more than what similarly-themed pictures offer nowadays in Hollywood. <br />

The Plot: It's based on the true events which led up to the 1972 World Chess Championship between American player Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire) and the Russian, Boris Spassky (Liev Schreiber). <br />
<br />
The Good: The performances, primarily that of lead actor Tobey Maguire, are brilliant. The supporting cast includes the likes of Liev Schreiber, Peter Sarsgaard, Lily Rabe, Robin Weigert and Michael Stuhlbarg. If I had to choose the second-best act that would be Schreiber's portrayal of Spassky, especially due his physical persona. Maguire's individual was anti-social whereas Schreiber's was confident. So, the director did a fantastic job of setting the stage for a cinematic contest between two characters who couldn't be more diverse.<br />
<br />
The usage of real-life footage was also an excellent addition into the duration. At a running time of 115 minutes, it never does get too tedious for us to watch. The chess-playing sequences were shot quite well though I felt if the game was a bit more elaborated on then it would be easier for viewers to associate with what's occurring on the screen. <br />
<br />
The best aspect of Pawn Sacrifice is the tension created when Fischer and Spassky face each other. Not only can you relate to what's happening in the flick but you can actually feel the tension the worldwide audiences must've faced during the actual Championship.<br />
<br />
The Bad: This feature fails tremendously due to the screenplay, and this is particularly in relation to there being no fixed objective for the narrative. Is the venture about the players, or is it about the Cold War ideology playing in the background? That is what screenwriter Steven Knight got wrong.<br />
<br />
Another negative factor is that in many factual-based films we seem to be mesmerized by what the main figure is going through, or what obstacle they are facing. Here, Maguire gives the display of a lifetime, but is hindered by Fischer's on-screen treatment. Now, it's 2016 and if we were to be impressed by the past, we need a storyline which would seem renewed for this century. This one simply fails where its contemporaries have succeeded and that is achieving an equilibrium of honest storytelling and fictional depictions.<br />
<br />
The Verdict: Edward Zwick has the directorial credits of The Last Samurai (2003) and Blood Diamond (2006), and even though this was not an action exhibition, Pawn Sacrifice did not match his criteria due to the script's mediocrity. It's more of an enjoyable watch if you're a fan of Tobey Maguire but for me it was complete time-pass.<br />
