Let the Right One In
Tomas Alfredson 2008 | Feature, Horror
It's slow. Rather slow, in fact. But in a good, rolling way that fills in all the little crevices it passes over. As far as the genre goes, which would be vamp movies here, there hasn't been one that has so explored the mythologies and the personal ramifications of it as this. At least for me. Not for the action/gore buff, truly, though the film does have it's moments towards the end, it more fits the piece of the light trot. IF you have any ounce of patience, if you can be content watching snow and pieces fall for 5 minutes as things slowly work out, then this is a film to inject straight into your occipital lobe. And if it's note your flavor? Sit down and enjoy anyways.

Kingz
Benni Diez, Marinko Spahic 2007 | Action, Guest in Attendance, Horror, Shorts
It was just what I want a short to be. Straightforward plot. Slightly over the top, including good action that leaves the story wide open for you(or another film maker) to fill in. Kingz feels like a classic short story that forces you to develop some kind of underlying background that always makes you want to tap into it, for more and more. A good mix of the random fightsie genres and sci-fi. Definitely a good taste.
