Malignant (2021)
A little surprise
I have always appreciated James Wan. His horror films are mainly dedicated to the general public, they are not horro of the type of The Lighthouse or Babadook, but despite this he has always managed to make excellent entertainment works, showing everyone how this type of film should be made, putting us however care and commitment.
This Malignant was certainly one of the films that I was looking forward to with interest, also because nothing had leaked about the story and there was a certain aura of mystery. Initially I believed in a supernatural story in the style of Insidious (judging from the trailers) and instead I changed my mind almost immediately.
Already with the prologue we understand that Wan will tend to change the cards on the table and it is something that he will do in certain key points of the story.
The first part will be based on the construction of the characters and the beginning of the investigation.
The second will be the search for truth, carried out by Madison, Sydney and detective Kekoa, in which interesting theories about who this elusive Gabriel could be will come out.
The third part instead will have the revelation and will also be the bloody moment of the whole film.
Wan manages to manage a simple story that in several points manages to surprise the viewer and, through his direction, also manages to create a fairly elaborate staging and really good moments, whether they are horror, thriller or even d ' action.
The characters are well characterized, they won't be complex or multi-faceted, but they will do their job well and we will really appreciate their interactions.
A really great film, which demonstrates how Wan is still capable of creating great horror without having to repeat himself. I hope to see this director again in other horror films.
The Nest (Il nido) (2019)
An excellent gothic
It is a pleasure to see films of this genre in the Italian panorama. The Nest is directed by Roberto De Feo, here at his first rehearsal as a director. In some places we see that this is his debut film but otherwise he has an excellent staging where the jumpscares are not the tension but the gothic atmospheres and the fact that there is a mystery behind the whole.
Excellent the cast, chosen with great care and above all excellent the ending that initially may leave you perplexed but, observing the film, the dialogues and certain enigmatic scenes, we can understand that that ending was well studied.
