(movie) There’s Someone Inside Your House(2021) – klišeiziran, ali dobar slasher!

Bila mi je jedna od boljih odluka kada sam konačno popustio i nabavio Netflix, jer stvarno ima odličnih stvari za pogledati, filmove i serije s kojima sam u zaostatku. Dakle, idealno. Ovaj horror je teen slasher horror, a moji najdraži horror podžanrovi su found footage, slasheri i stari old school Hammer Horror filmovi. Dakle, odoh pogledati ovaj, ne očekujući ništa specijalno, a kad tamo film sasvim zabavan mada klišeiziran slasher horror u rangu Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer…, Urban Legend, Valentine i sličnih dragulja iz devedesetih i kasnije. Dakle, netko na brutalan način ubija srednjoškolce osvećujući im se za njihove laži, duple živote, licemjerje i za ono što glume da jesu, a nisu, a ubojica je brutalan i kada ubija nosi na 3d printeru isprintano lice žrtve i kapuljaču i sve to izgleda poprilično cool. Dakle, film ima nekoliko okej scena ubojstava i u tom pogledu je prilično dobar. Isto tako, likovi su ono, kliše, glupi, nevjerni Tome, final girl, sve ima u ovome filmu. Kao i glupog ponašanja koje jednostavno mora biti u ovakvim filmovima, iako je bizarno tako se ponašati kada te naganja ili se u blizini šulja serijski ubojica, eto, ovo je dio slasher horror folklora i mora biti prisutno. Film nije predug, taman, a završetak je isto tako grand finale u kukuruznim poljima koji je svojevrstan hommage Screamu i sličnim filmovima, a ti sitni hommagei se pojavljuju i tijekom filma i tko gleda horrore će ih skužiti. Dobar film.

(review) Coping Method – ‘Demo’

Coping Method are hailing from San Francisco, California and this is their self recorded demo containing an intro plus five songs. Music is just the way I like it, fast and at times chaotic. This is hardcore punk bordering with power violence and also some slower, sludgy stuff thrown in with screaming vocals, thundering bass and tortured apocalyptic atmosphere and vibe coming your way. Songs like ‘Cope’, ‘Torture’ or ‘Behold’ are sure to win you over with their vision of hardcore punk. This is a great demo by great band. I also love and encourage use of samples, it is always great. I look forward to next releases by this great band. Hardcore lives!

(review) Back Pedal – ‘Stress’

I love discovering some bands like Back Pedal. These guys are hailing from Missouri and this is their new release containing seven songs. The music of Back Pedal is superb, mix of styles that I love in pop punk and melodic punk rock. That means it’s as if I listen to Descendents mixed with Teenage Bottlerocket or The Lillingtons. This is energetic fast and ultra melodic punk rock with short but sweet songs, not unlike above mentioned bands. Vocals are great, melodic and not snotty, but I would love if they could be a bit more louder in the next recordings of this excellent band. Guitars are raw and remind of early Ramones guitar work, the drummer is singer for this band, so that is another plus for me. I would like to see this band deliver their music live, I am sure they are energetic and fun as Hell to check out live. My personal favorites on this record are: ‘T.H.P.S.’, ‘Little Psycho’ and ‘Adore’. Great one, I look forward to more stuff from Back Pedal.
