(movie) Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel(2018.)

Leave a comment

Kada sam već krenuo, rekoh sebi hajde da pogledam cijeli serijal, cijelu franšizu ovog found footage horrora. U drugom nastavku doznajemo više o Andrew Tullyu i njegovom zlom kultu koji je vodio Abaddon Hotel i otvorio vrata Pakla tamo. Film zapravo nekako na pomalo zbrkan način prati trostruku timeline radnju, jedno je emisija u kojoj se vodi rasprava o Abaddon Hotelu, jedno je ekipa istraživača koja se našla zarobljena u užasima Abaddon Hotela, treće je priča o tome kako je sve to počelo i zašto se to radi.

Ono što je dobro u ovom filmu je priča, napeti story koji me držao prikovanim za ekran i željom da saznam još i još o nesretnom ukletom hotelu. Ono što nije dobro je prevelika zbrkanost između ta dva, odnosnoo tri timelinea i na momente se gubi film i nije jasno što se zapravo događa u kojem timelineu, dal je to napravljeno namjerno ili nije, nisam siguran. Gore scena nema baš, ali ima tog hinted horrora ili atmosferičnog horrora koji mene ispunjava kada gledam found footage podvrstu horrora zbog čega mi i i je jedna od najdražih podžanrova horrora uz slasher. Najveće razočarenje dobrog filma mi je loš kraj, koji nekako ruši sve dobro što je prije izgrađeno. Kraj naravno ostavlja prostora za nastavak ovog filma koji je mogao biti puno bolji nego je ispao.

Zaključak: 5,5/10 sjekira – zbog lošeg kraja filma niža ocjena, šteta!

The Finnish melancholic metal band Garden of Stone is set to release their debut EP ‘Tides of Decay’ on February 15th 2024 via Inverse Records. The second single Idol of Flesh is released today with lyric video: https://youtu.be/oFHPsf3i5AM 

Guitarist Ville Penkari comments:
“Idol of Flesh is the second single from Garden of Stone’s upcoming debut EP, Tides of Decay. The song showcases the band at their heaviest. Where Hymn of a Dead Man Pt.1 is slow and brooding, Idol of Flesh is fast and heavy. The song hits hard at the listener until the heavy guitars and brutal screams turn into a soft embrace of clean guitar and singing melodies. This does not go on for too long, as the song is driven home with the energy that was established at the beginning, without forgetting a breakdown that will make your neck move without your permission.The lyrics handle fear as an entity that is crowned as both the ruler of all and the highest currency.”

BIOGRAPHY:
Garden of Stone is a melodic metal band that weaves together melancholic rock and heavy metal. From the band you can expect brooding atmospheres, beautiful melodies, and face melting riffs.
 

The band was formed in 2023 when guitarists Jere Mäntysalo and Ville Penkari recruited Jesse Salo to sing and scream for their project. Soon after, drummer Tapio Haverinen joined to keep the rhythm department in check. The group was completed when bassist Kalle Hänninen joined to govern the lowest frequencies. Guest drummer Matias Rokio arranged and played the drums for the upcoming EP. The band published their first single, Hymn of a Dead Man Pt.1, in December of 2023, with the EP “Tides of Decay” just around the corner.

The first single Hymn of a Dead Man Pt.1 is available on streaming: https://push.fm/fl/gos-hymn

Brutal Assault 2024: 70 % of the line-up revealed!

Brutal Assault introduces 23 new bands, reaching 70 % of the complete line-up!

Death metal classics CARCASS will return to the Fortress after five years. Together with them, you can look forward to a proper toxic brutal death metal charge from CYTOTOXIN. From Belgium will come death/goregrind hurricane ABORTED, and from Sweden DARK TRANQUILLITY with their signature Gothenburg melodic death metal. The imaginary death metal circle will be closed by apocalypse riders VLTIMAS.

American ESCUELA GRIND will unleash grindcore chaos, followed by American MISERY INDEX and ROTTEN SOUND with their death-grind mixes. The destruction will conclude with PIG DESTROYER, who rightfully rank among the most respected grindcore bands.

The black metal scene will be represented by the American AKHLYS, the underground acclaimed YELLOW EYES, and the folk psychedelic HEXVESSEL.

From the gothic scene, Brutal will welcome the popular industrial DEATHSTARS and the post-punk-tinged UNTO OTHERS. From the dark swamps will come Finnish melodic KALMAH, and from overseas will come heavy-rock-metal SOIL. CYNIC, the American “tech metallers” will bring a special Focus set for a re-release of their iconic debut album. The 8-bit computer MASTER BOOT RECORD or the brutally honest post-hardcore SVALBARD will deliver their original perspective on music.

Get ready to jump into the moshpit for a good dose of hardcore, as MADBALL will return to BA after six years. Also performing for the first time at BA will be the established CANCER BATS, SHOW ME THE BODY with their unique and innovative musical identity, or THIS IS HELL, metal punk freaks known for their intense and energetic live performances.
