Review: 'Push' is a Blanket Gripping Home Invasion Horror Thriller

The uttering of the words "home invasion" often sends people into a rightful state of paranoia. There's nothing supernatural about people breaking into homes with the intent to steal or harm occupants. And horror and or thriller films perfectly can sometimes capture just how human these acts are. In the case of Push, it's undoubtedly more difficult when you are 8 months pregnant and alone. Push is set in the early '90s and follows a woman who is 8 months pregnant and is doing it alone due to the

The Gospel of Rage: Humanity Unmasked in 28 Days Later

To dwell within the anxious nightmare of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later is to plunge headlong into an inferno where civilization’s fragile veneer shatters, scattering shards of humanity’s grotesque truths across the screen. Released in the deceptively distant year of 2002, this film remains brutally relevant, its lo‑fi aesthetic and ferocious realism not only enduring but thriving in the age of pandemics, television ubiquity, and post‑The Last of Us fatigue. From the onset, Boyle orchestrates tensi

Dangerous Animals: An Allegory on Childhood Trauma, the Male Gaze, and Torture Porn

There is an unsettling magnetism in the cinema of violence—a grim allure that Dangerous Animals deftly harnesses and interrogates. This film, which surfaced prominently at Cannes and currently unsettles audiences in theaters, artfully navigates the tightrope of narrative coherence, steering clear of the trap of disjointed storytelling and gratuitous sensationalism. For most of its runtime, the movie is impressively adept at crafting logical, inevitable consequences rather than random, forced hap

"Ripley": Starts and End with Shadows

If there's one element that defines "Ripley," it might just be shadows. Projections, silhouettes, reflections, shading, darkness, and outlines - the use of shadows transforms this story from decades ago into something completely different. Who would have thought that in 2024, we'd still see a black-and-white drama series? In terms of form, "Ripley" took a big step back in a very adventurous and exciting leap. It became a pioneer with a conservative appearance and created complexity with minimali

Would You Date Joe Goldberg? It's Complicated

I think, for me, the answer depends on which version of Joe we’re talking about—and whether I knew about his crimes before dating him. Most of the doe-eyed women in You are oblivious to his violent, stalker tendencies. Once they find out, they (understandably) flee. And to Joe, that’s the ultimate betrayal. Thus begins the pity cycle of "my ex was murdered," and boom—you’ve got yourself a five-season Netflix show. Now that You Season 5 is over—and I’m assuming that means the show is finally done

The daily life of a possessive romance.

A few months ago I received a DM from a cinephile friend with whom I share audiovisual tastes. It was a reel (created by IA) where David Lynch praised the performance of Soraya Montenegro (character played by Itatí Cantoral) in the soap opera María la del Barrio. In this Reel, Soraya with an excessive fury shouts “What are you doing kissing the cripple?...” and lashes out at everyone in the place with blows and accusations. Lynch (AI Lynch) defines the scene as (and I quote) - “... This is not j

Fight or Flight: Bullet Train for Bloodthirsty Aerophiles

Apparently, the screenplay for James Madigan’s Fight or Flight had been floating around Hollywood for several years before Thunder Road Films finally picked it up and produced it. After watching the film last night — and having to navigate more plot holes than a detective in a self-published crime novel — I can see why so many studios passed on it. That said, it was still a perfectly entertaining Friday night flick — especially if you, like me, enjoy turning off your brain from time to time and

Keyser Söze vs. Tyler Durden.

Two of my favorite characters in the history of contemporary film are Keyser Söze from the fantastic film The Usual Suspects (Bryan Singer, 1995) –played by Kevin Spacey, a covert alter ego of the pusillanimous Verbal Kint–, and Tyler Durden from the influential Fight Club (David Fincher, 1999) –played by Brad Pitt but actually a fictional alter ego of the Narrator character played by Edward Norton–. In the thriller City of Shadows we witness these two protagonists in the same story: a metropoli

"THE MOVIE THAT HAS NO LIMITS OF EVIL."

Thriller: a Cruel Picture. This 1973 Swedish exploitation film packs all the punches for a “thrill” you can't forget even if you try. Weeks after you stepped off the ride. And man, oh man, did I try, for several days. If there's one thing I'll tell you first about this movie, there is a non-explicit and an explicit version. I didn't know this. DO NOT WATCH THE EXPLICIT VERSION. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT WATCH THE EXPLICIT VERSION. I made the dire mistake and it's been months and I'm still trying t

Dark and Immersive Tragic Tale Worth Watching

I can’t believe I let this Netflix gem slip past me when it first came out, but after finally watching The Pale Blue Eye, I have to say: What a macabre and poetic surprise, an omen to imminent death. A Murder Wrapped in a Poem Set in the icy, desolate world of 1830s West Point, The Pale Blue Eye follows the detective Augustus Landor (played by Christian Bale) as he investigates the mysterious murder of a cadet. Among the soldiers, one stands out: a peculiar young man with an interest for poetry,

'Say Nothing', one of the best recent TV series.

Say Nothing (2024) is a nine-episode television miniseries that opens with the tragic abduction of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was taken at her house in 1972 and never seen again. The story of various members of The Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA) narrates the extremes to which some people will go for their beliefs, how a once-divided society can suddenly turn into an armed conflict between neighbors, the enormous shadow of radical violence for those affected,

The brutal and murderous John Wick

It seems to me that John Wick is one of the most brutal Assassins in history and one of my favorites and here I explain why. First you should know that John Wick is a very violent, often bloody thriller starring Keanu Reeves as a brutal, vengeful killer. The death toll is very high: The characters are shot bloodily, they are mutilated, stabbed, beaten, threatened, the murderers with firearms at point-blank range are very outdated scenes, they are blown to pieces in an explosion, they are strangl

Robert Rodriguez and the El Mariachi Concierto

As filmmakers, we live and die by the artistic medium of filmmaking. The hardest step is the first step when it comes to starting anything. Unsure about committing because success isn't guaranteed. As established as he is now, it was the same for Robert Rodriguez, but all it took was a little encouragement. In 1991, a short film called Bedhead gained enough attention to urge the filmmaker to make a serious attempt at filmmaking as a career. In 1992, that same filmmaker releases a feature-length

John Doe from 'Se7en' is the best killer ever.

John Doe. What can we say about John Doe that hasn't already been said? One of the most devious, petty, and twisted serial killers and villains in cinematic history. So much so that even if he surrenders to the police, it will be to complete his evil plan and win the game. It's impossible not to admire him, despite his wickedness. Or because of it. He was masterfully portrayed by a Kevin Spacey in top form, who followed this superb Se7en (David Fincher, 1995) with another equally superb The Usua
