NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE MARATHON OF HORROR
I skipped "Hereditary", which is on general release, to spare myself the disappointment and the rubbish ending again and I saw only the three exquisite films which had their one-off shows that night:
DELIRIUM
Recommended. On the one hand it resembles "The Shining" - a man has to stay alone in a huge house for a month, his hallucinations (or not) include a (motor)bike and blood. But these are just subtle references to the classic. This one breaks the horror pattern. For a larger part you don't know what's real and what's not. There are also references to some world-shocking crimes revealed in the recent years.
47 METERS DOWN
Recommended. Everything that could go wrong underwater happens here which makes it quite realistic. There's nowhere to point and say it's not true. Each part of it could happen. Basildon Underwater Studios and Dominicana make for Mexico in the movie. But it looks genuine. Ah, they go shark diving. These animals are one of the dangers in this gripping story.
REVENGE
Recommended. She's hot and beautiful - acted by Matilda Lutz, they are cold-blooded perverted killers. The plot is filled with feminine force - directed by a woman, Carolie Fargeat - and creative, e.g. in the way it shows her waking up repeatedly. Excellent party-like music by Rob. Outstanding cinematography. A slasher movie dripping in blood but in what style!
