interesting review, unfortunately I hate Argento. You should have done it the same way but with Bava: I would have built you a damn monument!

To sum it up in two lines: (I already wrote you, I know, sorry) the best way to ruin this film is to read about it. The best way to ruin it is to read it. geenoo & darkeve: whoever convinced you to watch it spoiled the show for you (sorry again, maybe I'm being presumptuous, if that's the case, sorry again), you should have figured it out on your own for your own sake. Brain Dead never crossed my mind while watching it, neither did House 2, and if you went to the cinema convinced you were going to see the classic shitty horror for 14-year-olds (like those that could have titles as lame as "that house in the woods" and might have obviously genre-based posters), not only would you have left satisfied, you would have even understood it. Starting to watch this film with expectations (knowing already where the film is going, by the way) I realize ruins the "experience" quite a bit. In fact, it doesn’t just ruin it; it cancels it. PS: This is a film that I would have reviewed and didn’t precisely to not ruin the experience, I also wanted to review "let the right one in" and "Monsters" and do me a favor (for me, who cares about you despite everything, even if it doesn’t seem so and even if it’s not true) just watch them. And if you don’t like them do me another favor: and avoid letting me know. (you could do the favor of watching them and make yourself like them) They are films that have nothing to do with this; in fact, let’s pretend I haven’t mentioned them, that’s better, I’m not at the peak of my intellectual capacities (which, probably, is still "quail level"). And pps: I’ve already said it, but the essence of the film is Sigourney Weaver (I just rewatched Alien tonight, and maybe I'm influenced by this, eh... but I don’t think so) and that "what a shame it would have been a really great weekend". Or whatever the answer from "the fool" is to that "I would have liked to see the ancients." I swear (because tomorrow I won’t remember it anymore) that I’ll stop talking about it. Cabin in the Woods? I’ve already had my fill. And anyway, 5 to the reviewer: over twenty comments for a slasher that came out less than a year ago.

one more vote for the United Nations scene.

Let's raise a question whose significance is far more relevant than it may seem (it seems like a joke, but it’s actually a half-joke): why gothic doom? I mean: we were talking about death, sadness, love, suffering, tears and tears (Harmony); the other (the doom that's not gothic) talked about the occult, about black masses, with album covers referencing the Gothic cinema of the seventies and... and that’s it, damn it. So why is this "gothic doom" and Candlemass is not? Why are Paradise Lost Gothic and what about Electric Wizard? Why do people use words without knowing their meaning, for heaven's sake? It's Harmony metal, for crying out loud! (and there’s nothing wrong with that, in fact, I'm going to listen to "Liberate the Swans" again).

Again? For fuck's sake. And now (probably for the umpteenth time) I My Dying Bride and nes... As The Flower Withers: No (but it has a spine-chilling title, competing for the "Favorite Title by nes" award with "The Bees Make Honey in the Lion's Skull" by Earth). Turn Loose The Swans: yes. But a big, fat yes, one that you shout to the world without any shame. Third and fourth albums, respectively "The Angel and the Dark Little Stream," LGOTS: yes, but here I gradually stopped shouting. Fifth album (the one with the super sales, sorry but I can't remember the title): NO, and I don't think I need to explain why. The Light At The End of the World, The Dreadful Hours. Liked them during a period when I was already light-years away from the sounds that led me to discover the band. I didn't dislike them, but I think it was only because the last memory I had of them was tied to that "something for a hundred" (that's roughly the title of the album that for nes is a NO) which is truly awful. The Voice of the Wretched: like the previous two, and of the three, it’s probably the one I preferred (like, 3 listens instead of 2). Then I told myself to stop. It was 2002... eleven years have passed and they've released 5 CDs and a compilation in 4 alternative versions... They must really be hungry. I absolutely couldn't care less about them anymore, but I’m sorry they still have to work so hard for their bread.

Hello to you, my friend! This one here at 22 has already sold 15 million records? Wow, you took no time at all to get on my nerves... Go Tom, keep it up!

The need to be alternative at all costs by Debaser often leads to a lack of focus on the subjects. Yes, okay, three for this film, agreed. And five for No Country for Old Men. You're not being alternative: when it comes to cinema, quite frankly, you don't understand a damn thing. Please forgive my bluntness and French expressions; I didn't mean to offend, but the forced display of snobbery towards what is praised almost everywhere irritates me a little when done without criteria and just out of habit. Whedon is the screenwriter of Buffy, Waterworld, Speed, Toy Story, Thor, and The Avengers... no, I wouldn’t have guessed this was one of his films, and if it was obvious to you, I would kindly ask how you figured it out. Drew Goddard had never directed a film before to avoid further faux pas. But you’re alternative, huh... Oh boy, you really are alternative. Homes: "As for Martyrs, it’s one of the few 'torture-porn' films that seems to work..." to me it seemed one of the worst; of course, it depends on what one has seen, personal tastes, and other factors, but to me, I repeat, it seemed gratuitous like all films of the genre, and particularly boring. I renew the invitation: "Poughkeepsie Tapes." "As for Raimi, come on, you can’t tell me he has nothing to do with it." No, The Evil Dead 2 has nothing to do with it: Raimi is relevant like Craven, Cunningham, Carpenter, Hopper, and another 10,000 slasher directors. Because everything you saw in The Evil Dead 2 is in The Evil Dead, which isn't grotesque; it’s a true slasher (historical), and it’s completely normal to address it in a film that indeed pokes fun at the slasher genre. So if you want, Raimi fits in, but not The Evil Dead 2. Not at all...

If it’s true, in fact, that there’s a Travis in each of us (as Scorsese suggests in “Taxi Driver”) ??? And here I was thinking that with Taxi Driver Scorsese, starting from Camus’ outsider, wanted to make a film to denounce Vietnam... Look at that.

"The New Wave Of Thrash Metal (NWOTM) is that movement..." What thing? ???

Is that kosmogambe on the cover?
