(movie – horror) The Nun II – razočaravajući nastavak

Moram priznati da, kada sam gledao prvi dio The Nun bio mi je odličan, kao i pojavljivanje Valaka, demona u obliku časne u drugom nastavku The Conjuring sage. Nisam se previše iznenadio kada sam doznao da stiže nastavak The Nun, kao dio The Conjuring univerzuma odnosno spinoff te franšize.

Radnja je smještena u 1956.kada netko ili nešto ubija svećenike i časne i kreće se prema zapadu, a sestra Irene(odlična Taissa Farmiga) se mora ponovo suočiti i pokušati obračunati s demonom Valakom koji je u potrazi za drevnim i moćnim artefaktom. Što ne valja s filmom? Jednostavno mi je nekako bio dosadan, nema onu wicked atmosferu prvog dijela u klaustrofobičnom samostanu, pošto se drugi dio događa na više lokacija, te ima premalo same The Nun(fenomenalna Bonnie Aarons), pošto da ne spoilam, ima neke nove momente kako se kreće i kako prelazi s mjesta na mjesto. Film ima neke svoje momente, neke jump scareove i poneku dobru atmosferu, no međutim kao takav nije zadovoljio moje potrebe kao fanu dobrog horrora, što i je definitivno slučaj s većinom mainstream kino horrora koje sam gledao u zadnje vrijeme. Ono malo gore scena i krvavih pogibija koje se događaju u filmu su okej razrađene i napravljene kao i sam kraj filma koji naravno upućuje da bi mogao pasti još koji nastavak, ja se nadam da neće.

Zaključak: 6,5/10 sjekira Glumačka ekipa dobra, priča tanka, ali zadovoljavajuća čine blago razočarenje od nastavka gdje sam puno očekivao, ali se ipak radi o iznadprosječnom filmu.

Drink Deep – ‘DD’

Time for some old school hardcore punk to grace the pages of this webzine. Drink Deep are hailing from Berlin and this is their 7 inch EP containing 8 short songs being just over a minute long. This is old school fast hardcore punk the way it should be done. Fast, angry, drumming and shouted vocals with some melodic parts, this one is an energy bomb. It is short but sweet with whole record being under ten minutes long, Just to leave you hungry and wanting more. Lyrics deal with letting go, friendship, loss, personal point of view but you can relate to them immediately while listening to the record and reading lyric sheet. Superb hardcore for all us old school hardcore punk fans!

(review) Revirgin – Moderna Rješenja

Revirgin were already featured on the pages of this zine. This duo comes from my hometown of Čakovec and this is their new album containing twelve songs, all songs this time in Croatian language. According to the band, these bunch of songs were already written a year ago and recorded this year. Revirgin play their vision of prog art rock mixed with synth pop, synth rock and I love how they create that eerie and a bit bizarre melodies in their song structures with Karlo’s voice being kind of similar to David Byrne of Talking Heads. The last album couldn’t escape the comparison with that legendary band, but this one also has some domestic influences like Azra or EKV, maybe it is only me hearing it, but I hear it in the song structures. I recently watched them play live and they did an awesome show with couple of old ones and mainly songs from this album. Lyrics are personal, read between the lines, allegoric and different than most of the bands out there right now. My personal favorites on this album are ‘Egzodus ’97’, ‘Dobro za građene’, the title song, but you must check out the album as a whole to get the full picture. Revirgin makes albums that make you hear something new every time you listen to them, so go for it!
