  Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion 1997

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Jul 2023

  Hideaki Anno bleeds on the Screen, he bleeds on us, mentally and physically his Blood is covering us in his pain. The world of Evangelion is covered in blood, from the beginning it was doomed, like no human was supposed to exist in it‘s otherworldly terror. Is this the evangelion according to our time? 

  Shinji has the wish to not exist, but is it actually good to exist in this world? The desire to just be nothingness, but his purpose…

  Inception 2010

  ★★★★ Rewatched 23 Aug 2020

  Since the date until Tenet hits the theather is almost there I decided to revisit some of Nolan's previous work, since my relation to his films changed over the years, despite not revisiting them for quite some time. For a lot of people Nolan is one of the greatest, if not the greatest filmmaker ever. I myself was at that point some time ago, I myself was one of those Nolan worshippers that crazed his work to be the best,…

  Let's Scare Jessica to Death 1971

  ★★★½ Watched 29 Oct 2020

  Let's Scare Jessica to Death is best discribed as one strictly executed pure atmosphere, that's a curtain of slow burning reality blending paranoia and surrealism. Jessica is recently released from a mental institution, but everything seems to crawl back on her in the beautifully eriee countryside. The great lead performance by Zohra Lampert as the titular Jessica portrayals her trouble and fear in haunting detail. John D. Hancock crafts a horror undefyable of type with elements of vampireism, folk horror…

  A Tale of Two Sisters 2003

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Oct 2020

  A tale of two sisters inacts it's psychological horror through a steady atmosphere of fright. Slowly build by blurring supernatural horror with the terror of destructive family relations, in imagery forged by superb directing and the gothic influenced aesthetic. A shaping instance for haunting horror cinema of it's kind that would follow and partially dominate the genre.

  Overall A tale of two sisters is an enigma of fading memory wrapped in trauma, guilt and grief. In Kim Jee-woon's visually impressive K-horror of realism and the nightmare-ish, that leaves the viewer only with the feeling of emptyness and a certain amount of confusion.

  Crazy Samurai Musashi 2020

  ★★½ Watched 30 Sep 2020

  The interesting concept, a Sion Sono script and the making of story doesn't assure a good film. A 77 minutes one take that just gets really repititve and boring after not to long doesn't ensure quality, espacially when the one fight scene with cuts is the best in the whole film. The same 20 to 30 stuntmen get killed over and over again, no bodies pile, no blood paints the sphere red and those swordman use the same techniques over…

  A Cure for Wellness 2016

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Aug 2020

  A Cure for Wellness is an odd film. It's an obscure 150 minutes horror movie wrapped in peculiarities, that looks way to expensive for such a weird film. The madhouse, backdrop and eeriness feels inspired by the works of Corman and Bava, with hints of Lovecraft-ian horror. Brilliant cinematography always comtain the clean beauty of the margin, constantly spilling out blistering images of dread. While the movie would have been sheer mastery with about 30 to 40 minutes less, the…
