Die Wannseekonferenz (2022)
Very good production quality and some great acting
I was positively surprised by the high quality of the production.
I did however struggle with the portrayal of Reinhard Heydrich, who seemed too soft for a man of his caliber. I understand what the makers of this film were going for by portraying him like this, creating a disturbing contrast between his cultured appearance on the one hand and his utterly barbaric intentions on the other... showing a wolf in sheep clothing. I believe that the historical Heydrich was a man who oozed authority and arrogance, knowing that he was very much feared by fellow Nazis and enemies alike.
On the other hand I was very much impressed by the portrayal of Heinrich "Gestapo" Müller by the actor Jakob Diehl . It seemed like a spot on portrayal.
The actor probably did some in depth research on Müllers biography.
Müller seemed uncomfortable with this meeting and conveyed the general impression as though he did not want to be there. Mr. Diehl did a great job in showing the fact, that Müller was not a convinced Nazi but instead a careerist of the very worst type. The type of person who was literally willing to contribute to some of the worst crimes in history as long as this would advance his career.
Into the Inferno (2016)
Great documentary
This documentary does not try to scientifically explore volcanoes, it's about the emotional impact volcanoes have on human beings.
On a subjective level, looking into the red bubbling abyss was pleasant and terrifying at the same time.
Bone Tomahawk (2015)
Great movie
This was a very well made film, which is basically a western/ horror mix with great story and plot.
A large part also make up the relationships and how these develop.
ARQ (2016)
Cool movie
If you like time-loop-movies you will love this one.
It's well made and credible. The acting is good too.
Tau (2018)
It's a decent movie
This movie is okay. It has suspense but a little on the unbelievable side. Nonetheless a fun watch.
Crimson Peak (2015)
Very well shot and suspenseful
I really liket this movie. It is very well made, the acting is top notch and the story is good too. What I also liked about it is that it does have a few bloody scenes and that made me take it serious. It is unclear until the very end who will survive and who won't.
Escape Room (2019)
This movie delivers
A movie does not need to be artsy, demanding or anything in order to deserve top scores except serve its advertised purpose. This movie set out to entertain with light horror and it nails it.
Countdown (2019)
Delivers what it promises
This movie promises light popcorn horror and delivers.
This movie is not trying to be smart, it's simply on point.
The actors were good and the monster was really scary looking with credible CGI.
Hieronymus Bosch - Vom Teufel berührt (2016)
Good documentary
It is an interesting documentary, which is worth watching.
Evil Dead (2013)
Uncompromising Horror
This movie is not for the weak :-)
If you are into "real" (hardcore) horror, this movie is for you.
I really liked it, the tension never let up, the acting was great too.
Last but not least the special effects were awesome. There is only little CGI and this makes most of the film look very real. A truly remarkable horror movie.
The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)
Refreshing Zombie Movie - Watch it!
I have seen many zombie movies and often it is hard to tell them apart.
This movie is special because it proves how a good story can make all the difference. The zombie setting is great but it is not the primary focus of this movie.
It's the relatable characters and the dynamic between them that makes this movie great and not the fact that it takes part during a zombie apocalypse. I believe that this movie could also have worked just as well in a sci-fi setting.
Upgrade (2018)
Perfect Score
This is a captivating movie which has great story and action.
I think that it is hard to make a original sci-fi action movie because there are many to choose from. Upgrade stands out.
Underwater (2020)
Fun Movie
I really liked this sci-fi-horror movie.
The story was interesting, the horror adequate and the monsters believable.
CGI was great too, the movie did not have that fake look.
The performances by the actors were great and it was surprising to see how very good Kristen Steward is in this movie.
Replicas (2018)
It's an okay movie which asks some important questions
This movie has decent acting and an average plot.
What I value most about this film, is that it encourages the viewer to keep thinking and discussing the moral implications of the subject matter that it revolves around.
Because of this the underwhelming CGI wasn't problematic for me, it's not important for this movie.
Midsommar (2019)
Loved it
Those who are looking for a classic horror movie may be disappointed cause this movie is a slow burner. It doesn't hit you relentlessly with gore and violence which often makes horror movies seem unrealistic. This movie stays within the realms of possibility which (at least to me) makes it very scary.
BTW: The cinematography/ Effects are masterful too. It's worth a watch even if you don't like these kind of movies.
3 from Hell (2019)
It's average
This movie has good and bad moments.
It does not match up to the previous movies, Sheri Moon Zombie overacted, the movie just didn't add up.
Dorohedoro (2020)
Good story, great animation
Good story, great animation.
I really like its unique style.
