    Opera

    ★★★★★

    A Giallo in its purest form. 
    Argento created this masterpiece which goes so well with Suspiria. As a giallo fan, I am always in for some colourful gory kills. With that being said, Argento as a director is someone that you must appreciate his subtleties and his eccentric directing style.

    In Opera, Argento plays with the idea of a double, between him and Marco, but also tackles the hardships that it is to direct and to act. Opera is a…

    What a masterpiece and fantastic sequel Doctor Sleep is. 
    The acting, the directing, the editing, the sound and pretty much all of the aspects of the film come together to create the sequel we have all been waiting for. 
    Whilst the original Torrances do not make a come back, their replacements work wonders to create the atmosphere and the hommage The Shining deserved.
    Through explicated and implicated space, Flanagan creates a universe within which Stephen King’s usual awkward quirks take a…
