O Estranho Habitante: The Strange Inhabitant (2023)
Good medieval action, with lots of mystery.
Although it is far from being a classic, "The Strange Inhabitant" fares better than most with good performances from the two lead actors (Rui Constantino and Miguel D. Dias ).
The action is paced nicely throughout the story, keeping the tension levels and the viewer's interest high from start to finish.
The scenery is also used to excellent effect, helping to evoke the danger and despair of the period. The scenes set amongst the squalor of the villages helps to convey the desperate conditions that many people were living in.
On the downside, the special effects aren't very special, if you'll excuse the pun, and the dialogue occasionally borders on the cheesy but all in all, the film manages to succeed at delivering what the viewer wants, the fantasy of swords and sorcery, and ultimately the battle between good and evil.
For fans of the genre, this is a must see, for me a 10, i´m a sucker for these movies.
Aliens: O Despertar (2023)
Fantastic fan film.
The premise is incredible as it takes us various planets were the engineers have several bases, and are making experiments, one of them goes wrong, but they are still trying to destroy earth, with that black liquid.
What comes next is one of engineers gets a facehugger on his mouth making him the host for a new queen, were after that his spaceship falls on Lv426.
And that is the beginning of the prequel to alien, then we go the new spacestation of Weyland Corporation were the son of mr. Weyland is now in charge well interpreted by portuguese actor Miguel d. Dias, he shows proof of the message that Burke sent the colonists to check out the spaceship and now he wants them to investigate it again.
They go there, and it´s pure hell, with the humans taking most of the losses, as they try to escape this nightmare.
A very good movie, with amazing sountrack and good performances by all, some stop motions felt a little flat, but hey it´s only a fan film, not an official one.
But for what it is and gave me nearly two hours of entertainment i give it a 9.
Jeepers Creepers O Regresso (2023)
Love the Creeper even more now after this one.
Where to start, i don´t even know, well the cast did a terrific job, at make me scared of the creature, and it worked, the curse of pogo county is back, and this time we get to see where he comes from, that alone makes me want to have the bluray of this.
The witch doctor bringing the creeper to our world is something for the ages, and savage and his hunters tracking him down is another thing i liked, it´s just like seeing some team hunting a beast in the jungle.
I´ve always loved the franchise, but after that awful reborn crap it was doomed, until i saw this one, and all my hopes were really reborned.
The mystical creature is back with his truck, and weapons, the chasing of his victims becomes real enought to make me wondering where is he ????
I was always looking at the screen to see if i could guess where he was before he strikes, one of the best kills of the movie is the guy alone in the house, the light inside the house made the scene even more terrifying.
As a fan film this is one of the best.
My love for this franchise has risen again.
A Maldição Do Nevoeiro (2023)
The ancient tale of the flying dutchman.
A solid, powerful story, slowly developing and photographed with a unique sense for tension.
The story telling in the beginning of the movie says it all, the legend of the flying dutchman proves once more that it´s real, the creepy atmosphere on the ship brings the curse to shore along with captain davey jones and his mates to retrieve his golden pistol, what happens next his the mystery envolving the characters showing us that nobody is safe, once the fog surrounds the house and finds a way to get in, the danger is there and it´s real.
This movie is a gem, one of the best in his filmography, it´s 9 for me.
Sith Wars: Episódio I - O Regresso dos Sith (2021)
A New Era Has Begun
Action packed, engaging, wildly suspenseful, the Return of the Sith really shines is in its almost unceasing action and meaningful scenes. There is lots of fighting in the movie which is a lot of fun.
I´m a die hard fan of Star Wars, and loved every moment of it.
Superb acting from everyone involved, and awesome visual effects.
Halloween: Filho Pródigo (2021)
The Shape Returns in Full Form.
Myers is back creeping into houses, stabbing merrily. The constant feeling of dread, pursuit in the dark, he goes all the way for new victims.
The kills are slightly better in this one, and has a much higher body count.
Comparing this low budget with the new HK, i can see that these guys really cared about the halloween franchise, and did what they couldn´t do, tell a good story, bring new characters in, and build the story around David Loomis character and his quest to avenge his father i thought that was so cool.
I didn´t even knew that doctor Loomis had a son, but after some investigation, i discovered he did, so i´m really happy about this, since i love this franchise, hope they can continue in this story for future sequels.
8/10.
Tubarão: O Regresso (2021)
Perfect summertime movie.
For a low budget movie like this, the build up is good, the shark attacks and devours everyone on this movie, the attacks are really well done, it almost felt real.
The cast made a fantastic job and were credible.
The locations are wonderful, the underwater cinematography is stunning.
A pure fun Summer monster movie.
