Kino - Fail

I watched the top 100 best horror films of the 21st century (A list on Kinorium)

Raw (2016)

Raw (2016)

Julia Ducourneau really fit into the genre. All 2 works and already horror movies. What we have. The plot is about a young and beautiful (it's worth watching for her already) girl who is sent to study at a veterinary school. But almost from the very beginning to the end, it's not clear what happens to the characters. The parents protect their daughter at the beginning of the film, knowing that she is a vegetarian and knowing what will happen, they sent her there. And almost at the very beginning, she was forced to eat meat and participate in the initiation.

Others are no better either. Queer sister, gay friend, underground hangouts (is this really a place to study?) and the teachers don't encourage the heroine for... grade. How's that? Closer to the middle, you lose yourself in space. The heroine is changing, not the same as in the beginning. And my sister understands that. Especially hints of her strange behavior can be understood in the accident. Where they boldly show how the heroines love humanity.

There are many messages here. For example, about society, the heroine from sweet quiet has become tough, open and has no boundaries. Even a friend changed his orientation and fell for her. What else gives you the idea that they love scum more than the good ones. Well, and another hint of the transition age. Only through the prism of cannibalism, where everyone crosses the line. The big problem of the film is only in the nasty scenes. And here it is. But it doesn't change the quality for me anyway.

Positive:

+ An idea
+ Makeup
+ Message
+ Message 2
+ An actress in a leading role
+ The final


Minuses:

- Disgusting scenes
- The sister is not a very pleasant character

7.5/10

Stay in My Shoes (2013)

Stay in My Shoes (2013)

I remember watching the trailer for this movie back in 2013. It's a very, very mysterious movie. And even after watching it, you're still left with this mystery.

The plot is simple, it tells about the essence that lives in the girl's body. She drives a car and picks up men in order to absorb them into herself. The very process of seduction and flirting is rather annoying here. And everything is done in an original way. But, there is no goal. Rather, the heroine wanders into an unknown place and for what reason. She's exploring the world. And despite the maniacal attitude. The heroine will even spare one. Adam Pearson played him. If another person was watching, then that's him. And a face without makeup. He's become like that.

Basically, I can say right away that Scarlett is ideally suited for this role. If you consider her candor and her look in the film, then 100 percent is a hit. Well, the 2 main plus is music. Foreign, strange, and hypnotic again. If I were making top soundtracks, then this movie would definitely be here. Well, again about the message, it's simple. The heroine initially does not perceive the world in someone else's skin, but then accepts and wants to understand it. However, the ending speaks volumes.

Positive:

+ Scarlett 
+ Music
+ Atmosphere 
+ Message
+ Original murder scenes
+ The movie is interesting to explore 

Minuses:

- Not for everyone 
- Stringy

7.2/10

I Saw the Devil (2010)

I Saw the Devil (2010)

It's very, very simple. A maniac terrorizes people. He rapes and kills women and girls. But I got the wrong one. The name is deceiving you. The main character is an avenger who searches for and then mocks the villain. He wants to destroy her mentally and partially physically. Moreover, there are enough scenes in the film where the villain even began to think. However, the hero of the tape is overreacting.

Korean films, especially horror films, focus on the character or characters. Not the genre itself. Almost 90 percent of them have been built. That's why you're wondering what's going to happen. Therefore, violence and rather bloody moments were left here. What is a moment worth in a car or in a hospital? Well, it is impossible to mention Choi Min-shik (one of the best Korean actors. And Lee Byung-hong, probably because of this role, he played the terminator in part 5.

Positive 

+ Action packed 
+ Actors
+ An idea
+ A guide for maniacs why sometimes it's worth thinking before doing it.
+ The final

Minuses: 

- The ending is controversial

8.0/10

Invasion of the Dinosaur (2006)

Invasion of the Dinosaur (2006)

I love Kaiju movies. The monster that appeared because of people is taking revenge on them. The beginning of the film speaks for itself. And after that, the monster immediately bursts into the world of heroes and starts killing and stealing people. So the daughter was stolen from the hero. The whole family of the main characters will try to save the girl, but suddenly the villain of the tape is here. The government. Who doesn't care about people at all.

Everyone already knows Bong Joon Ho. Therefore, there is nothing to describe. But I watched the movie often. Unlike the other film in the top (The Scream), there is an explanation of the hero's stupidity and his heroism after. Good people always want to help each other more than anyone else. That's why Pona has such characters. Simple ones with their own cockroaches in my head. That you're worried about them in the end. The ending is touching. I'm waiting for a sequel that can be made.

Positive:

+ Message
+ Characters 
+ The final
+ Actors, although I wouldn't really single out anyone other than Song Kang-ho

Minuses:

- Sometimes the characters are very stupid

7.8/10

Ecstasy (2018)

Ecstasy (2018)

Gaspard Noe and his film about the aftermath of freedom. Movies begin with characters who happily talk about life and experience. And then there's a shot of a girl crawling in the snow covered in blood. Next is a gorgeous dance (according to legend, it was filmed from the 1st take) with a more gorgeous soundtrack. Then that's it, an endless and intense horror about the stages of the heroes' edge. There's violence, death, self-abuse, and more.

Sexy and atmospheric - a masterpiece. From music with happiness. Before the screams in the finale. Another movie about how you need to know the measure or not do something that you can't stop. Well, the screaming finale is the consequence.

Positive:

+ Visual
+ Atmosphere 
+ Sound
+ The dance at the beginning is a masterpiece of cinema
+ The message, though simple. But again, the manual is about what not to do.
+ Camera work 



Minuses:

- Definitely not for everyone
- Probably a banal movie

7.8/10

Part 2 is coming soon. https://t.me/Kinohardcore my channel.
