'Beautiful Boy' (2018)
Relapse is a part of recovery. Eight years ago I found myself in a similar hopeless situation, with my back against the wall. Desperately searching for a way out. Knowing that I had to change my way of life drastically or else I would be admiring the roots of green grass till eternity real soon. The will to change was there, the courage too. Only I couldn't do it. And now, after all those years, I'm happy I made the right decision back then. For me, Beautiful Boy was a bitter pill to swallow. I didn't think I would have a hard time watching it. It wasn't crystal meth or something similar I had problems with. But there were so many similarities with my situation in this impressive film that it seemed like the story was about me. You'll see an avalanche of feelings in Beautiful Boy. Pride, trust, distrust, despair, upheaval, hope, happiness, grief and discouragement. A hopeless battle that demands inhuman efforts from both camps, leading to an unavoidable outcome. Either the person succeeds or those who surrounding him must passively watch as he drinks, injects, blows or swallows himself to death. Well, the movie shook me up.

Movie Review - 'Cargo' (2017)
We have no idea what it was that bit you.It had fingers, Andy!Fuck! If there’s one genre with so many releases that you get tired of it, it’s certainly the zombie genre. I’m sure this kind of movies is made on a daily basis. Movies in which infected undead stumble around, searching for victims, to have a portion of juicy brains. Most movies aren’t very innovative and all known clichés are being used. But occasionally you come across something completely different where they want to give a new direction to the zombie genre. Just like inMaggieit’s about a father who wants to protect his daughter. Only, little Rosie (Finlay and Nova Sjoberg) isn’t aware of any threat.

'Bird Box' (2018)
You never, ever take off your blindfold.If you look, you will die.Do you understand? Each year ends with a bang. You’ll have the end-of-year festivities and people party themselves into the new year. But when it’s about movies, this one created an "end of a film year" bang. Frankly, I didn’t expect too much of it. But maybe my prejudice about Sandra Bullock has something to do with that. I readily admit that I’m not really a fan of this actress. Is it her way of talking? Or her facial expression? No idea. But I have already avoided a lot of films just because of her being in it. But for her acting performance in Bird Box, she deserves a standing ovation.

'The House with a Clock in Its Walls' (2018)
You can eat cookies till you throw up, for all I care.You’ll see… things are… quite different here. Have you seen Goosebumps where Jack Black plays the leading role as well? Well, you can expect almost the same thing. A kid-sized horror film. And I had the same feelings about it after a certain amount of time. Namely, that it’s all a little bit over the top. It probably wasn’t the intention to make it too scary. It should all be about magic and mystery. And it sure was the first half. I admit I have a weak spot for such type of movies. The House with a Clock in Its Walls reminded me of the wonderful Harry Potter movies. Here, too, it’s about an orphan boy who ends up in a foster family and apparently has magic powers in his DNA. Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) himself looks like Henry from The Book of Henry. An outsider as well with aviator glasses on, but halfway, the movie derailed a bit and felt rather exaggerated, absurd, and grotesque.

'Jonathan' (2018)
Wow.You’ve given each other the perfect male fantasy.Sex without emotional attachment. Fascinating. That’s the best description for this film. Jonathan is not an easy movie and it excels in monotony. But give this not so action-packed, one location situated film a chance and maybe you’ll discover how unparalleled and brilliant this film is.

'I Still See You' (2018)
The Event took people we cared about,but it also left a part of them behind.Remnants. When I saw Shovel Buddies a while ago, I decided to add the item “Watch movies with Bella Thorne playing in it” to my to-do list. Now, I have a large number of to-do lists in the meantime. I could wallpaper my living room with it. In short, too much talk and too little action. I was pleased to see at the beginning of the film that she also participated in I Still See You. The only thing that surprised me was her appearance. Not such an adorable, fresh looking, and stunning appearance as in the first mentioned film. No, this time she’s an alternative looking, rebellious goth chick with raven black hair and sturdy shoes on her feet. Such a type of girl you’d encounter in a pub full of smoke and doom music. The only thing missing was a piercing through her eyebrow and lower lip.

'Slender Man' (2018)
Those who hear the three bells toll, accept his invitation.When you hear the first, you must close your eyes, keeping words unspoken.If one wants to hear, you must listen closely, for they are soft and distant.

'Apostle' (2018)
These people…they’re blasphemers…a cult, a disease.Be careful. Be smart.Bring her home. The first thing that came to my mind while watching “Apostle,” was the movie “The Witch.” It takes place in the same time period. Here, too, an old-fashioned sounding English is spoken. And it’s also a religion-tinted theme. The biggest difference with “The Witch” is that I thought that one was rather boring and not a horror at all. It was more a historical costume drama. “Apostle” is, on the other hand, simply sublime. A mysterious film about religious madness. Not only content wise but also visually it all looks perfect And the facet of horror was indeed present. And no, not only because of the bloody and gore scenes. There’s only one thing that puzzled me afterward. What was it that the people of Erisden worshiped?

'Await Further Instructions' (2018)
I don’t think the messages are a government broadcast. It’s almost like they’re reacting to what we do. Initially, I would immediately add Await Further Instructions to the list of “useless movies that only ensure that you don’t start running into the walls out of boredom.” But on the other hand, this low-budget indie-sci-fi was fascinating and amusing enough in my opinion. Not because of the story, because that was completely absurd and contained a denouement that didn’t make any sense at all. But because of the wonderful acting and the way this dysfunctional family reacted during Christmas, the most joyful festive period of the year, a period in which families usually come together to have fun and also to carry on a family tradition. It’s the period of the year when people bury an old family feud and sit down at the table to catch up while enjoying a drink and some food. There are countless films that show that this isn’t always the case, like in Krampus and Better Watch Out. Even the McCallisters in Home Alone experienced this period as a time full of misery. Maybe not so macabre, but exciting enough. And in Await Further Instructions, there isn’t a cozy Christmas mood as well. And certainly not when the Milgram’s house is wrapped as a Christmas present.

'Los Olvidados' (2017)
Epecuen looks like the scene from a movie.A horror movie… The Onetti brothers could have made it easy on themselves by dubbing the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to an Argentine version. Because to be honest, this movie Los Olvidados is almost a perfect copy of this legendary film. Only the location and the freakish characters are different. The whole story is situated in Argentina, more specifically in Villa Especuén, a town in the province of Buenos Aires that was completely flooded by a salt lake in 1985 after a period of heavy rainfall. The images used are therefore authentic. Even the slaughterhouse (Matadero) that can be seen in this film is a lonely witness to the terrible disaster. Yet another advantage for the filmmakers. They could save seriously on the budget for the scenery.
