Review of Todesvisionen - Geisterstunde

A more remarkable anthology actually consists of four independent short films that were released on video in the 80s, as a feature, and the past decade in DVD format. All four have very good standard and all are led by women living some extreme situations. The first (Malum) is clearly inspired by the famous and final segment of the film "Trilogy of Terror". And although it remains below that, it is well done and very satisfying despite its brevity (less than 12 minutes). The second story (Julia) the only headed by a woman, is quite away from the rest, both for its atmosphere (not as sinister as in the other) and by all to develop broad daylight. It is also quite short (16 minutes) and is possibly more clearly betting the supernatural. "Kristalltod" is a longer segment (25 minutes) in which evidently noticeable influences Argento film, especially in deaths. It is quite sinister and dark, and although it has poor lighting in some scenes, is arguably the best of all. The last story (Till death do us part) is also the longest (almost 40 minutes) and may be the most conventional of the four. Use the classic scheme of game of cat and mouse that always gives good results, but the end is very predictable. However, it is technically one of the best, has a good development and a very wise rotation. In short, I found a very commendable work, in which every story has an average level of interest and quality than what is usually seen in other films of anthologies, where we always find more loose or fill segments here do not appear . As only criticism one could speak of the imbalance in the duration of the four stories. I think a better distributed (more equitable) minutes would have stayed around.
