The Coffee Table (2022)

Have you ever been to hell?

[10/10 · 11 May 2024]

Do you want to experience hell? Do you want to know what hell fells like? Now possible through La Mesita del Comedor!

I didn't know much about the movie, just enough to be curious. The movie gets to the point fast, there's no time wasted and out of nowhere boom the nightmare is on. If you are into tense, atmospheric, anxiety inducing movies, go watch it, you will find yourself in a tour of hell.

I am sure from now on whenever I will hear or see anything related to coffee tables my heart will stop for a second. Also, I have recently become a father which contributed tremendously to how I experienced the movie.

Teambuilding (2022)

Nice effort, sadly nothing else

[2/10 · 3 January 2023]

I wasn't expecting anything close to let's say "Doua Lozuri" but oh man, this was not even close to a comedy. The plot? What plot? Character development? None. The Oltenian/Moldavian/Transylvanian clichés? Badly used and some not quite accurate (the ones from Cluj. Come on WTF?! More like from Budapest. Then the girls from Moldova... any other reason for them to be present in this than the obvious one?). Overall bad acting, bad scene transitions, vulgar in a bad way, nothing solid. I would not recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I would actually go the extra mile to make some sort of presentation without any slides to explain how bad and waste of time it is. Like I said I appreciate the effort, hence my 2 stars, but artistically speaking this is nowhere close to a comedy let alone a film.

Speak No Evil (2022)

1st half loved it; 2nd one hated it

[6/10 · 11 December 2022]

The film has a great start. The WTF moments start to appear here and there and you get on that "what the hell is going to happen" ride and you enjoy it as a viewer and you think you are in for a treat. The first part of the film has plenty of these to drag you in, leave your room and be there with them and feel those subtle signs that something is very wrong and then I hated it, worst victims ever.

1st half - it was so uncomfortable to watch that I loved it; 2nd half - the victims have ruined that amazing atmosphere built in the 1st half.

Overall, I am just disappointed because it had the potential to be a great horror film without ghosts, evil spirits just mean intentions and pure terror.

It's a 6 for me just for the 1st half.
