FUGA (FUGUE)

Watchable. Gosh, does it drag! I expected a thriller with the woman discovering a sinister secret behind her accident and memory loss. Anything but. She just got cold feet and the whole situation had to do with the couple unsure if they are fit to be parents once the baby came to this world. Once you know that, there's no reason to watch this prolonged rubbish with needless nudity, ugly in that. I loved the music anthem though: "Lovers are Strangers" by Michelle Gurevich and some other pop, e.g. by Yazoo

THE POSSESSION OF HANNAH GRACE

Watchable. It's not scary. Starts tacky but shortly turns into an engaging, clear-cut and well-paced horror drama which isn't overloaded in any way. Shay Mitchell is superb as the headstrong morgue worker Megan. The story doesn't get a complete closure but there's no mid- or post-credit so probably no sequel is planned as yet. The possession is explained as a result of depression. Knowing that Catholics believe in possessions happening for real and what priests really do to young women during such rituals, I'm concerned they might start treating depression as a sign of demonic presence.

It feels funny when a staff member dives between seats to clean after a horror.
