The Last House on the Left (2009) Online-Streaming-

A shockingly mundane disappointment taken on its own and a deeply misguided refraction of the original.. Stripped of that sociological context, the extreme brutality here can't help but feel more than a little exploitative, especially where the film's female victims are concerned.. It's that first 30 minutes that ruin this movie.. In this era of torture porn, this film seems intent on reconnecting audiences with the power and intensity of real-life, even quiet and casual creepiness.. Do not go t...

The Stranger (2015) Streaming-

It's that first 30 minutes that ruin this movie.. What registers now is the simple cruelty of fate, as unlucky coincidences lead to the direst of consequences.. A deliberate, underplayed horror movie that is truly shocking.. In the end, like virtually every other remake that has been released recently, it's polished and predictable.. Dennis Iliadis's remake retains its ferocious power and provocative themes, and thanks to a focused script that unfolds in real time, it ratchets up the suspense an...

Warte, bis es dunkel wird (2014) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really ...

Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead (2014) Voll Streaming

A feeling of foreboding sets in early in Kiah Roache-Turner's zombie-apocalypse thriller Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the hellish subject matter and everything to do with the direction.. The horror master's first film in nine years is not the comeback we had wished.. . The kills aren't terribly suspenseful or dramatically staged and they quickly grow repetitive. Worst of all, they're not particularly scary.. . A glorious textbook example of a gifted film m...

Splice - Das Genexperiment (2009) Download Voll

The Cronenberg influence here is evident in Mr. Natali's interest in the body and birth and in an initially subdued, near-narcoleptic atmosphere that helps build a nice sense of foreboding.. Daring, disturbing and deliciously twisted.. The special effects and creature design, as good as they are, don't exceed the acting by Polley, Brody and Chaneac, who make it all seem entirely plausible and emotionally real.. Before the film devolves into cliche, director and co-writer Vincenzo Natali creates ...

Saw (2004) Voll Streaming

A gore movie with no teeth.. . I really like this movie. thank you. There are a few cheap thrills, but not enough to make sitting through the senseless plot even remotely worthwhile.. The film is so convoluted and full of garbled loose ends you can feel the different script drafts battling it out for attention on screen.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. Absolutel...

Aftershock (2012) Voll Streaming

A weird mash-up of disaster, horror and dystopia genre pictures, "Aftershock" fails to make the Earth move.. It's hard to imagine just who would want to sit through this movie, given the sadistic mayhem the audience is subjected to.. "Aftershock" is ultimately predictable in its litany of who lives and who dies, and doesn't try to be too ironic or self-reflexive about it.. Aftershock is incompetently made and morally muddled, but since talent, morality, and Mr. Roth have never been on speaking t...
