Love to hate the characters
3 July 2022
At one point you realize that this is a film with no positive characters at all, they are all crooked, backstabbing bastards so the viewer actually has no-one to root for. And that's when it becomes fun, because it breaks the 'good guy versus bad guys' routine and the viewer can enjoy these crooked bastards screwing each-other in a bad way, with no bangs of conscience.

Ironically, one previous reviewer laments the degeneration of the western culture, where there is no room for the good. He probably misses the point that this flick is not advocating evil, because these villains all get what they deserve.

A nice little parody with good twists. Too wordy perhaps, but I guess it's an adaptation of a stage play, and there's nothing wrong with stage plays.

Unforgivable mess
27 December 2018
Quite an unforgivable mess of a movie. I remember it was trumpeted as being the ultimate action movie, but it's just very bad. Some most embarrassing performances and not much of a plot.

Solid fun
27 December 2018
This is quite a solid horror flick, much better than your usual teenage slasher. It has some very good photography and the young actors do a decent job. I enjoyed it quite a lot, even though it has its obvious misses and occasionally loses the track.

Atmospheric and delicate
27 December 2018
A beautiful fairy-tale like film, underrated and almost forgotten, but worth a look. Amazing photography and very good actors bring the era really to life in front of the viewer. Also rises deep points about life, love and loss.
