NIGHT FILM MARATHON - ROMANTICALLY SCARY MARATHON IN DOLBY ATMOS AND REAL LASER
Again at Helios Blue City in Warsaw, this time in a standard seat - in my opinion on the hard side so with little risk of falling asleep for me but my friend found it so comfortable she slept for nearly 3 movies and I had to nudge her a couple of times to stop her snoring. Luckily for me the horror set was showed in the most advanced technologically room. The RGB laser projector ensured the natural look of daylight shots. The Dolby Atmos provided an astonishing quality of sound, much improving even worse films. At the very beginning the display near the screening room measured the time till the start but not before subsequent films of the marathon. Also the full schedule was placed only near the ticket desk and the bar instead of near the screening room entrances or the toilets where it would have made more sense.
THE PRODIGY
Watchable. Engaging and with decent suspense but with some overused tropes. Cute boy Jackson Robert Scott is wonderful as sweet/devilish Miles. Perfect use of Dolby Atmos: you can hear a conversation from one side and music from another as if you were in a real room. Swarms of flies and a killed dog horro cliches. At the end of the credits you hear Miles humming his favourite tune.
ST. AGATHA
Recommended. The brutal thriller appears inspired by: "Rosemary's Baby", "Saw", "Misery", media news about nuns taking away women's babies after birth and scandals about sadistic nuns abusing those they were supposed to take care of. Some sequences got my heart pounding, some scenes were so disgusting I nearly puked but they were all in line with the action which kept me on the edge of the seat.
PLEDGE
Recommended. Good music. A cross of "Hostel" and "Funny Games" with a nearly-political twist, reminiscent of "Purge". The idea that the elites of politics, finance and technology have to stop seeing others as humans and keep conning the subjects it's for their prospecive good.
ATERRADOS (TERRIFIED)
Watchable. Trash. What was it about? It's loaded with scares but with poor CGIs and little sense plot-wise.
