(movie – horror) Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022.)

Leave a comment

Evo jednog simpatičnog malog meksičkog horrora koji me ugodno iznenadio. Prema žanru spadao bi negdje u psihološke mindfuck horror filmove. Valeria je dugo željela dijete ali kada ostane trudna nešto nije u redu. Događaju njoj se čudne vizije, progone je sumnje, u vizijama pucaju kosti, progoni je Huesera The Bone Woman, jedino je opasan ritual može spasiti kao i njeno dijete. Film je zapravo mali film, s nekoliko glumaca, glavna glumica Natalia Solian nosi sve na svojim plećima i izrazima lica, mimikom tijela, odlično odaje izmučenost glavne junakinje događajima koji je progone. Za ovako mali film, ima odlične spooky momente kao i odlične specijalne efekte i sama atmosfera filma je nekako zgusnuta i mučna kao i kraj filma koji ostavlja gledatelju da sam protumači ono što je vidio, ja sam si protumačio na jedan način, no to ne znači da ćeš ti vidjeti film sasvim s druge strane spektra od mene. Ovakav film je za mala kina i festivale, siguran sam da dobro prolazi tamo i da je ovako dobar film ostao na radaru fanova i struke, pošto se radi o jednom od boljih ostvarenja ove godine.

Zaključak: 8 /10 sjekira- u ovom filmu nema slasher krvavih scena, nema krvoprolića, ali ima mnogo atmosfere, čak folk horror utjecaja i mnogo dobrih scena koje spojene u jednu cjelinu daju odličan film. Moja preporuka.

(review) Ailleurs-‘Where different worlds collide’

Leave a comment

This band is coming from La Rochelle, France and this is their debut full length album. There are ten songs on this one. Music is basically punk rock but with so much more influences thrown in. There are hardcore, metal, funk, reggae, midwest emo, but also blackgaze to be more modern. Lyrics deal with personal themes, like will to live, mental health issues, but also oppression and social injustices. I love how this band manages to mix all these influences in their music but still remain punk rock and punch you in the face. One of my personal favorites is ‘She Resisted Agonizingly’, mixture of fast hardcore punk and reggae with good lyrics. Vocals are more screaming and shouted and somehow fit perfectly to the atmosphere each of the songs has, because every song is different from the other and that is the beauty of this album. One other song I must also mention as favorite is ‘Fading’ which is totally cool with lyrics that goosebumps your skin. Also ‘Flashes of Corruption Destruction(in My Dreams)’ is worth mentioning having that cool catchy riff and reminding me of early Shelter, but hey, maybe it is only me. This is in fact an interesting album for all of you who love your punkrock diverse.

(review) Agastopia – ‘Melt Down’

Leave a comment

Agastopia are hailing from Bulgaria and this is their new release containing nine songs. The music on this album is varied and if I must describe it would be melodic hardcore punk with some groove parts and almost alternative indie rock parts but enough harsh to keep your hardcore heart beating for listening the music of Agastopia. Like grunge influences meet hardcore punk and skate punk. Lyrics are personal and deal with death, facing your inner demons. aggression, being empty inside, depression, jealousy, suicide and other themes from very personal angle of being. There are couple of faster more straightforward punk songs like excellent ‘Dead’. Vocals vary from angry shouting to more melodic clean singing and fit just perfectly to the songs along with backing vocals. My personal favorites are ‘Dead’, ‘Terrified’ and ‘Just Do It’. This is not your straightforward hardcore record but it is a great music if you open your mind and ears to a bit different music style and quite original if I can admit.
