May be my opinion and impressions won’t coincide with the rest of reviewers but to my mind the movie is really outstanding and it is exactly the one that brings back the magic of a classic horror movie. The film looks even better if you take into consideration that it is a re-make. Some parts of “The Last House on the Left” are even more successful than those in the original version.

The last house on the left

The plot is catching: a gang kidnapped and assaulted two young women, and while escaping from these murders and looking for a refuge they occasionally found one at a vacation home that belongs the parents of one of the victims. That is the way the horrible and blood-chilling revenge starts … 

Of course, I can’t but mention that the movie is rather low-budget and everybody concerned can see it with the naked eye, but who cares when it works. But I would like to tell you the moments I loved in the movie the most:

  • definitely, the score and the cinematography. Both these elements caught my eye;
  • the dynamics is really stunning. I like the way this gang acts – brutal and quick;
  • Mari’s parents really deserve their own movie. What actions, what climax! 
  • the idea of crossing a line has been pulsing throughout the movie. A couple of times I was really puzzled: how far they can go;
  • violent scenes were not very violent if it possible to say so, because those villains seem to have a completely “human” face;
  • the movie provokes a lot of feelings and moral questions, so you will definitely think of it even after its ending;
  • teamwork was amazing – there IS a cooperation and even some kind of chemistry between husband and wife.

All-in-all, it was a nice and interesting successor to the Bergman original.

Oh, goodness, dear child! You found yourself amazing afterward? In my land, we probably would have considered you amazing to begin with. In the first 60 minutes, I will find myself laughing every 45 minutes? Heavens! That, if my mathematics are correct, is... umm, one laugh. Better I should watch that

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Hollywood, Hasbro, Michael Bay have made Transformers practically pornographic. They've taken a cherished childhood icon and smeared it for adult pleasure and profit. Furthermore, they've now taken Transformers away from kids. Hasbro needs to rethink this direction and Bay needs to clean up his act - This movie was sexist,
