The Turning (2020) Horror Review

May 19, 2020May 17, 2020 Cultural Hater

Floria Sigismondi’s The Turning (2020) scares with its lack of substance and out-of-focus plot – rather than with the actual degree of frights delivered. When Stanley Kubrick premiered The Shining (1980), numerous critics panned the way the film steered away … Continue reading The Turning (2020) Horror Review

El Guardian Invisible (2017) Review

May 12, 2020May 10, 2020 Cultural Hater

An exercise in below-average crime drama, El Guardian Invisible (2017) finds itself trapped between too many characters, local fables and soap opera particles, messily clustered into one movie. Literature and cinema coexist in symbiosis, with the latter sourcing a lot … Continue reading El Guardian Invisible (2017) Review

Crawl (2019) Review

May 5, 2020May 3, 2020 Cultural Hater

Alejandro Aja’s Crawl (2019) clones ideas from various survival thrillers, however it is just as derivative as a movie about fighting a deadly croc could be. What is Crawl (2019) about? Florida is about to be hit by a huge … Continue reading Crawl (2019) Review

May 4, 2020May 3, 2020 Cultural Hater

Once in a while, a film such as One Cut Of The Dead (2017) pops out of nowhere – a no-holds-barred fun, which switches gears in a split of a second and overcomes its minute budget with confidence and wit. … Continue reading One Cut Of The Dead (2017) Review – Ingenious Example Of A Tiny Budget With A Big Heart

Lost Girls (2020) Review

April 27, 2020April 26, 2020 Cultural Hater

Lost Girls (2020) is a sloppy drama, which drags for the most part and never finds its focus. The topic it touches, however, is relevant and so deserved a more thoughtful approach. One important thing about reviewing true crime stories … Continue reading Lost Girls (2020) Review

Darlin’ (2019) Horror Movie Review

April 20, 2020April 20, 2020 Cultural Hater

Darlin’ (2019) bites likes its protagonist, but only occasionally. A vast majority of the film is just a horrendous mess. You can call call it a hunch, but when an easily forgettable horror movie gets a sequel almost 10 years … Continue reading Darlin’ (2019) Horror Movie Review

Creep 2 (2017) Review

April 18, 2020April 18, 2020 Cultural Hater

In Creep 2 (2017) Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass return with a sequel to their tiny-budget thriller. It’s more bizarre than its predecessor, and much more fun too. I could bet that when Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass started writing … Continue reading Creep 2 (2017) Review

Advantages of Travelling by Train (2019) Review

April 16, 2020April 16, 2020 Cultural Hater

Advantages of Travelling by Train (2019) is a bold movie, and often entertaining, however it crosses several lines which play out badly. In consequence, it’s neither deep and thought-provoking, nor is it entirely joyful and bonkers to become a cult … Continue reading Advantages of Travelling by Train (2019) Review

Creep (2014) Review – A Tiny Thriller With A Heavy Punch

April 14, 2020April 12, 2020 Cultural Hater

The complexity of Mark Duplass’ performance is the beating heart of Creep (2014). The film might look formulaic on the surface, but there is depth to its sinister stalking topic. That’s what makes Creep (2014) work so well. Films about … Continue reading Creep (2014) Review – A Tiny Thriller With A Heavy Punch

The Occupant (2020) Review – Netflix Hidden Gem From Spain

April 13, 2020April 14, 2020 Cultural Hater

An attachment to ‘four walls’ takes a dark turn in The Occupant (2020) – a flawed, yet enjoyable thriller by Netflix. Although the story explodes with too many ideas, this is a ridiculously gripping movie, and a hell of a … Continue reading The Occupant (2020) Review – Netflix Hidden Gem From Spain

W Lesie Dziś Nie Zaśnie Nikt (2020) Review

April 8, 2020April 8, 2020 Cultural Hater

Bartosz Kowalski’s W Lesie Dziś Nic Zaśnie Nikt (2020) works neither as a proper homage to the vintage, nor an inventive satire on its themes. Sadly, it’s not even remotely entertaining either. Alexandre Aja, director of Crawl (2019), once said … Continue reading W Lesie Dziś Nie Zaśnie Nikt (2020) Review

An imdb trivia page about Truth or Dare (2018) says that director Jeff Wadlow pitched the film to Blumhouse producers by revealing only the first … Continue reading Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare (2018) Review

1917 (2019) Review

February 14, 2020February 14, 2020 Cultural Hater

Poetic, visceral and fearlessly executed, 1917 (2019) comes off as one of the most exhilarating cinematic experiences of our times. I could start this review with a quote expressing the ugliness of war. How it sacrifices the lives of youth, … Continue reading 1917 (2019) Review
