Total masterpiece.
It was said this was depressing and not a film to watch twice, I don't agree at all. It's such a pleasure to watch a film with such attention to detail, such attention to character development.
One memorable scene after another, that flows wonderfully all detailing the rise of Joker.
A very special film and hopefully the first of a series not the last.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Been a long time since I've written anything but this is a worthy film, that all film lovers should have a watch of.
It's really storytelling at it's best. From start to finish Del Torro transports you into his world of the orphanage.
Quite unlike what many will be expecting, it's creepy in places, sad in others and quite beautiful and heart warming (you'll know when you fully watch the film what I'm referring to) in others.
From the descriptive camera angles, subtle music, quality acting all make this "nightmare" a bit of a "dream" story.
Brilliant.
The first and only time I had watched this was 10 years ago. Unlike many I disagree that this bites off more than it can chew.
The first time I saw it I was disappointed, mostly because I was confused with it's concept, a decade later and wiser I understood the concept and I have to say this is the material of geniuses.
However backdoors, firewalls, legacy computer programs built on top of an already highly complicated concept already it's…
Was it chilly in those caves or is it me?
Very rarely does a horror grab me and keep hold but Neil Marshall's Descent does precicly this. It's difficult to say a bad word about it.
Well scriped, good but simple plot, extremely well directed and produced with some "beautifully" horrific camera angles and the use of music to build up tension which is as good as you're going to see anywhere.
I'd say this is very close to a modern day horror masterpiece.
