NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE NIGHT OF HORROR. ANTIVALENTINE'S

A CURE FOR WELLNESS

Recommended. Mountains in Baden-Württemberg are the actual location, my guess is Switzerland was too picturesque and not dramatic enough for a thriller. The spa in "Hostel" led to vile premises. Here the spa is the vile place. Like in horrors, it starts with ominous signs: aggressive village peope and a deer causing an accident. In the sanatorium nurses wear all white which makes male ones look like the "Funny Games" oppressors. The mystery deepens and deepens keeping you on the edge of the seat.

THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE

Recommended. Scary as hell and an unusual puzzle to solve.

부산행 (TRAIN TO BUSAN)

Recommended again. Great cinematography and a story composed of funny moments, tear-jerking ones and lots of twists of action, very realistic psychologically.

곡성 (THE WAILING)

Watchable again. Annoying zombie-like creatures. The film's too long and weird and totally class B. Likeable policemen characters attract you for the first part but later the movie loses its light tone.
