I watched the top 100 best horror films of the 21st century (List at the Cinema Forum) - part 5

Split (2016)

M. Night Shyamalan is certainly a unique person. He was able to collect the cash register. I also want to make a great horror movie.

Split is one of Knight's superhero trilogy films. But when Willis showed up at the cafe. It was a twist. After all, no one even knew that this was the sequel to Invincible. And the poster hinted at it. Well, in the end, we have a chamber horror where a maniac with many personalities holds 3 girls hostage. In order to do something with them afterwards. The main thing about the maniac. He's here, and a woman, and a child, and evil. And it's interesting to watch. All thanks to James McAvoy. It gives out such an ominous current.

Unfortunately, there are still downsides to the movie. The main thing is that all the personalities will not really figure out, and out of the pile of declared main ones, only a couple of pieces. That's where the trick gets lost. And the maniac himself wasn't uncovered enough. But I wanted more.

Positive:

+ Actors
+ Intrigue
+ McEvoy
+ An idea

Minuses:

- Scenic spots
- There is not enough implementation of the idea 

7.8/10

February (2015)

I wrote about him in a post about Perkins. We're looking there. As it is, it's a very unusual film and a unique scenario.

6.4/10

Communication (2013)

The film is a mystery from James Ward Birkit. He took it off for pennies and in 5 days. At the same time, I received free reviews everywhere. And for good reason.

The story is about a group of friends who came to a feast. As a result, the lights go out everywhere and then they realize that they are stuck in a time loop. Like I said, this is a mystery movie. The hero will study what's around him, get scared and think. Just like the hero. It is such a simple action that is easy to observe. Even the ending doesn't clearly answer what it was. Giving even more interest. This particular film is an example of how you can make a cheap movie and not embarrass yourself.

Positive:

+ An idea
+ Scenario
+ Atmosphere 

Minuses:

- The ending is controversial

7.3/10

Don't Wake the Beast in her (2019)

Femme horror, which interestingly reveals the obuse. And their relationship. The girl endures until the end of the film and then cruelly takes revenge. Sarah Bolger did a good job. But, I didn't have enough atmosphere and disclosure of the topic. Yes, there are such people. But sometimes you seem to think that she shouldn't have waited any longer. But in the end, it goes sideways to many in real life.

Positive:

+ Message
+ Actors
+ Tinplate in the final

Minuses:

- Sometimes it's hard to believe what's happening
- Small disclosure of the message

6.4/10

Nightmares (2020)

I think I discovered this horror last year. Atmospheric and tractor-like and unique.

The story is about a student who goes to experiment on dreams. But something is wrong. The atmosphere here is great. The right tones and music. And the dreams themselves are in the spirit of Lynch's dreams. You're wondering what's going to happen in the end, and then there's the sudden twist in the finale. Where you don't realize what you've seen. There aren't enough horror stories about dreams themselves. Especially since they would stick strongly into the memory. But I'll definitely remember the nightmares more than once.

Positive:

+ Soundtrack 
+ Atmosphere 
+ Submission
+ An idea
+ The final

Minuses:

- Except that the horror part is not strong.

6.5/10

Piranhas 3D (2010)

Joe Dante shot his own version of Jaws once upon a time. But with Piranhas. It turned out so well that we decided to make a sequel. And after many years, it came to a remake. Surprisingly, the film has a quality mark and for good reason.

Alexander Azha has already shot a remake of The hills have eyes. That's why I decided to make a light remake. But he endowed it with bloodiness and filthiness. There's something bare or torn here and there. But you can feel the fear of these piranhas. Is there a big reference to Jaws and people who are resting? One of the bloodiest in general. Moreover, there are many stars in the film, which are nice to see. Definitely, this movie shouldn't have had a sequel either.

Positive:

+ Horror
+ Funny 
+ The references are good
+ Actors

Minuses:

- The plot
- Characters in places

6.2/10

The Scream (2016)

That's the Korean horror in place. And one of the best. Even 99 percent of the critics are. And it's not for nothing.

The plot is about a small village where evil has come. And people started to go crazy.  The main unique thing here is the script. The characters are both an anthoganist and the middle of the film where there is a hint of a surprise. The demon himself is creepy here, and even though he's not always visible, he's the star here. And his appearance is very frightening. But here are the characters.... The main character here is an idiot. The policeman seems to have a family. But he's an idiot, like he doesn't work for the police, but as a clown. Although it's clear what the director wanted to show. Everyone is used to a peaceful sky. And then it ended.

But, unfortunately, the actions of the characters themselves are also nonsense. Especially in the finale where you realize that everything is. This is the finale. Surprisingly, the film runs for 3 hours and looks lighter than many major works.

Positive:

+ Image 
+ Atmosphere 
+ Horror 
+ Scenario

Minuses:

- Character actions
- Characters 

7.4 /10

Revenge on the Unborn (2007)

Horror of the French wave. So it speaks for itself.

The plot is about a pregnant girl who saves herself from a psychotic woman who wants to cut a child out of her. The script itself provides quite a few surprises. But it reveals the topic of motherhood well. Well, special thanks to the directors. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to see such a tin now. And even with pregnant women. If you want to see the scene where the hammer meets the child... Well, you get it.

Positive:

+ Message
+ Actors
+ Horror
+ Atmosphere 

Minuses:

- I don't like such endings very much.

7.0/10

Mulholland Drive (2001)

I've never really watched this Lynch movie. They say it's his Magnus opus and Ascension. After his recent death, coincidentally, the viewing of the film also coincided. (There was another challenge)

We can safely say that this is a masterpiece. Vibe of thriller, horror and drama. The film abruptly gives us a heroine who is in danger, then some kind of flashback in a flashback and a screamer. And then there's the lesbian melodrama. That's Lynch's opus. It's not standard to present the strange story of Hollywood, but it's also interesting not to get bored. That's why I heard about the movie even before I realized who shot it.

Positive:

+ Atmosphere 
+ Actors
+ Scenario
+ Soundtrack 
+ Submission 
+ 

Minuses:

- Too Hollywood
- Not for everyone

8.0/10
