Benedetta
Nun in Monastry developes sexual feelings for another nun. And stigmata, too.

The mix works
Lesbians nuns would seem like a recipe for disaster, but I don't think it is. The mystery of her divinity and stigmata is interesting enough, the religious habits give it some weight, the supernatural elements give it some spice, and well - it can be sort of erotic. Interesting package deal.Death Valley
Contractors are hired to rescue a scientist from a secret lab in a forest where horrible alien experiments took place

Uninspired and stolen
A drab and shameless collage of stuff we have seen a million times before, delivered by subpar actors doing annoying characters.Dos
Man and woman wake up in a strange hotelroom, with their belly's sewn together

Tasteful, but ultimately doesn't make the impression it could
Despite the horrible premise, it stays away from torture porn or excessive gore, focusing instead of the story and mystery of how this came to be. It certainly kept me keen to find out, but performances, the story or big reveal all were a bit mellow to me, leaving me slightly underwhelmed.Prisoners of the Ghostland
A convict is chartered to rescue a woman from a mysterious group that is held captive by ghosts. If not he explodes.

Weird is not always good
Some pretty colors and scenes aside, this is mostly uncomfortably odd and confusing. You could argue that is to be commended for being different and broken free from the mainstream, but not in a way that I found pleasing.Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
During the familty vacation to Florida, the kid accidently ends up alone in New York - as do his nemesis crooks

Faithfully more of the same
I'd say it successfully manages retain the same atmosphere, jokes and story line as the original. So if you are in need of more of the same slapstick humor, and warm family friendly Christmas vibes, this will do.The Last Duel
Story behind the last official duel of the middle ages, when there were almost no colors

Well made and interesting, but know it's basically lengthy love drama
What a great idea to explore what was behind these duels: Who were these people? What were they fighting for? And while the movie is made with much class and great acting, it still felt like a love-triangle-jealousy kind of thing which almost is a bit soapy at times.Reminiscence
When the future is bleak, people instead relive past memories with a machine. The operator running that facility gets involved when a femme fatale shows up

half decent idea failed
The opportunity to do something cunning with the central idea gets lost in dull, pseudo film-noir kitsch, and the plot twist comes way too late to redeem it. But the real problems are inexcusably crincy Hollywood dialogue, audience pampering, poorly choreographed fights, among others.The Head Hunter
Medieval solitary warrior is combating demons and collecting their heads

Nice surprise that dares to do things differently
I quite liked this little nugget. The way we see him going about his work without even seeing the demons, and without any pampering explanation, is pleasantly mysterious and makes us observers peeking into his life. It keeps it intimate and compact, and the visuals are nice.The Other Lamb
A small cult with a single male leader herding only females lives in seclusion in the woods. Revolt looms.

Wittenberg

Minimalistic but not
The cinematography is as sober and plain as the cult members live their lives. It's almost a collage of images and unspoken emotions instead of a traditional story, but you still can feel the revolution building up beneath the skin. Good.Warning
A bunch of (related?) stories, with perhaps future technology and mankind as a central theme

Vague unrewarding stories
Incomprehensible at first, I got some ease of mind when I realized it's just some vague ideas and separate stories glued together in a movie. In itself still a feasible concept, but in here it was just a bit pointless and directionless, without any payoff.Movies found: 793 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 61 - 70
