Ostatnia wieczerza (2022)
Easily one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. How is this movie rated in mid 5s?
I find it really hard to overcome the awe I'm in after watching this masterpiece. Absolutely astounding. Starts really strong, gives off very classic vibe of a forgotten monastery where monks have gone mad...and builds on that. No jumpscares, no pathos. Nothing extremely supernatural, yet full of extremely satisfying, deep content.
Characters are played really well. The craftsmanship behind their costumes, their motivations, their general demeanor - absolutely on point.
Contrary to most recent horrors, I have never chuckled at absurdity of a scene. As a horror lover, that's news to me. Completely griping, shocking, I can recommend it to anyone who loves a good horror that's built on atmosphere of fear, instead of gore or jumpscares. Loved it.
Klangor (2021)
Masterpiece. A breeze of fresh air in the genre.
Admittedly, I felt very skeptical learning about a new polish production. Especially in a well-trodden genre of "missing-relative vs ncompetent-police vs genius-relative". I was proven wrong, so, so wrong from the very start till the very end. Klangor is an absolute masterpiece, briliant, captivating plot, amazing acting crew with a cherry on top soundtrack, building a wild ride through beuatiful polish landscapes. Unlike many others, it completes the experience with a very satisfying, bittersweet, yet really cohesive series finale. Give it a shot, its more than worth it.
Hemlock Grove (2013)
This has been the sharpest fall off I have ever seen. So much of wasted potential. (small spoiler ahead)
Jumping from an amazing, lusciously gory murder mystery to a teenage romcom drama may sound like a feat, but this is what happened in season 2. I couldn't bear watching any longer and had to stop mid S0209. Absolutely ridiculous plot armors, deus ex machinas, unnecessary plot twists - it has became like any average vampire/werewolf movie - where character power is arbitrary and the rules created just a couple of episodes before don't matter. I'm really disappointed.
Basic (2003)
"very good" says it all.
This is a really good, classic, enjoyable movie. That's it. I thoroughly liked the plot, the twists, the acting - great way to spend shy of 2 hours. Don't expect to reminisce about the ending years afterwards, just strap in and enjoy the ride. Travolta and Jackson deliver performance as delightful as expected.
Outback (2019)
Not bad, not good.
Ignore the 10s, as they must've been written by the crews family, and ignore the 1's, as they must've been written by trolls. This movie is peak mediocre, 4 is a perfect score.
In This Gray Place (2018)
It wasn't bad and it wasn't great.
For an indie/shot in one place kind of movie, it was surprisingly good - the lead actor was superb. It's not a masterpiece, but it's well worth watching once. The ending is pretty predictable, but it's still good.
Light from the Tower (2020)
Horrible. This movie is an horror, not because it's scary, but because it's hauntingly bad.
I tried as much as I could, but I can't find anything, anything good about it. Bad acting, tragic lighting, stupid plot, dumb ending. The positive ratings must have been bought from bot accounts, I can't explain it. Don't waste your time, trust the other comments.
Ciemno, prawie noc (2019)
Gut-wrenching, astonishing ride through vulgar, dirty reality
I left the cinema astonished, able only to mutter a "wow" under my breath. This movie starts as an extremely vague and almost mystical journey, and, as the plot unveils, finishes as a solid, strong crime novel, where every piece fits together as it should.
If I were to compare it to internationaly recognized movies/series, I would strongly lean towards True Detective. The vibe is similiar, yet different in its own, brutal way - with much more depth.
The camera work is short of a masterpiece. The landscapes captures are akin to works of art, the shots are wonderfully done. I'm still in awe.
Highly recommended to anyone with a strong stomach and penchant for a solid, cruel crime story with an ending, that will certainly not leave you unsatisfied.
Death at a Barbecue (2017)
Horrendously unwatchable
This movie is an afront to cinema, don't let the high score fool you. I was only able to watch 25 minutes before unnatural sound effects (dialogues too quiet, ambient sounds too loud, obvious stock sounds for opening doors/cans/walking, things like that) forced me to switch it off.
Also, the camera is really bad, the dialogues are artificial, and the actors....let's just say they are doing their best.
Do not waste your time, unless you want to see a production made by an untalented film school student.
