impressions about a product that you mislead and a film by its plot might think that you will not like at all, it actually be a very good speaker in a certain subject, Carriers is an example, in my case, this situation is palpable before giving a chance had the impression that I was going to run into a Bodra opportunist who only wanted to exploit fear of persons, greatly strengthened lately by a deadly pandemic H1N1, but in the end the intentions were the other way, and it turns out that carriers is actually a pretty good job, a human drama, with some tints of terror that reaches to be highly recommended.

The plot is about four survivors of a deadly epidemic that kills within days to people, and all they have to go in a very hostile world where survivors struggle to survive as if they were real animals, and each person is a threat to others.

English directors Alex and David Pastor did a very good job of adapting this story on the big screen, without much visual artifice, where and sets the camera techniques are used only to service history, one inadvertently failed to show much bombast.

The music is pretty accurate, though in truth goes a bit unnoticed, well, on the other hand I think what you want with this film is to stop all these technicalities a bit in the background, to concentrate all film on the strength and intensity of history that does not is anything wrong but here is one of the problems (personal and based purely egocentric) of the film, is that I have to admit that he likes me "packages" I mean? I've always had a soft spot and paid special attention to all that kind of extras that make the film more interesting technically and aesthetically (describe as photography, beautiful drawings, music, aesthetics, etc ...)

The atmosphere is very well made achieving transmit all this bleak environment where is the land, Which reminds me of another genre of horror, in short carriers could be described as a movie with the typical context of a zombie movie ... but no zombies!

It's nice to see characters who although they can be a little cliché in his nature, and decisions made not in fact are all wizened, very real and noticeable in certain decisions we can identify with them, even with the most bastard, thinking, "I could do that? The trouble is that the answer to that question, I really doubt hiso my moral integrity XD.

Of course, one of the weakest points of the film is mounting, often gives the impression that we are seeing separate episodes whose only link is their characters and has no real consequences to future situations that we took off and grabbing back to hooked over and over again with the film.

In conclusion, Carriers is a better movie than you might assume with serious errors in its rhythm, and sometimes it gets a little simplistic, but worth seeing for its great handling of the intention and for being a great study of human behavior in extreme situations.

best:
"The intention, the characters and how to carry out a good drama.

Worst:
-A montage a bit unbalanced and disjointed.

for me: 7.3/10

Colorado Temporary Licence Plate

Review: Flick

By Fran

YEAR: 2008
DIRECTOR: David Howard.
PERFORMERS: Faye Dunaway, Hugh O'Conor, Liz Smith, Michelle Ryan.

is a very satisfying when you know nothing about a certain movie and after viewing discover that it is actually a pleasant surprise, even more so when the film is a shoestring budget but manages to make us forget its few means we are seeing something quite cut as money is concerned.

The same was the feeling that left me "FLICK", a film made in the United Kingdom in 2008 that little recognition is not worth having, even for film fans to dump what horror films and zombies.

Without hesitation rather pay a movie ticket to see this rarity that many of the crap, the genre or not, that place regularly in the movies, unfortunately not all people think that way and melted by see upcoming shows mindless people like Michael Bay, Stephen Sommer and Roland Emmerich, while other productions much more humble and intelligent, rot into oblivion, a pity.

Flick tells the story of a young man in the fifties, rockabilly fan who died in an accident, years later the boy returns as a zombie to avenge the cause of his death, and incidentally win his true love.

If something can be attributed to Flick is to be original in its premise and aesthetics is impressive, the scenery is the great success of the film with very inventive drawings and decorated, the color palette is grayish gives a retro touch that looks great with the general context, in short, the scenery of the film is very good and a style rarely seen.

Music is one of the highlights of the film full of rockabilly pieces that make very entertaining viewing and more bearable, and is one of the strengths and most important that our zombie plot and "live (and kill ) for music. "

But all is not rosy, the plot sin of being too simple and linear causing us to lose interest in various parts of the film, even when we notice that beyond the mere facts no interesting background or second reading , the characters are too "dimensional" and apart from the zombie costs that we have affection for some of them.

As another point in the proceedings have generally very poor and not very credible and totally failed many jokes that instead of causing grace dislocations of what we're seeing and get us out of the film.

In conclusion Flick is a film definitely worth seeing, if only for its style, its scenery and its music, but is far from a perfect proposal, taking bajonazos alarming rate and actions that cause others pain , that if perfect for a good time, even more so for those who are attracted cincuentero style and rockabilly.

best:
-cincuentera Aesthetics, costumes, dance ...
"Some features of style achieved.
-rockabilly * 2!

Worst:
-Actions.
"The story may err in being too simple.

for me: 7.0/10

Hookup Spots In Pittsburgh

Review: Grotesque

By Francisco Acuña

YEAR: 2009
Director: Koji Shiraishi
PERFORMERS: Hiroaki Kawatsure, Osaka and Tsugumi Nagasawa Shigeo

for horror films there is a range of genres huge, and every genre and subgenre have their market and fans. There are people who admire from commercial production and digestible, even the most bizarre and cumbersome or confusing, my case is one of those, of course, if the hand fence with a minimum quality expected by product.

One of these subgenres is the so-called "torture porn, a few years ago reached its highest eminence (in public) to the success of films like saw and hostel. Many are loyal fans, others hate it, my view is that, contrary to what seems, porn-torture is a difficult genre because you must mix everything you normally need a good horror movie add some (or many) you long morbid touches of blood and guts, quite graphic without spoiling the desired result with the presumed exhibitionism.

Grotesque If I had to pigeonhole into a genre, no doubt would be the above mentioned, but never as a good example of how to make a movie of its features, especially his argument flojísimo virtually nonexistent.

much importance is given to try to hit with gore, obscene and disgusting that they forget about more important aspects, such as having a minimum ID or interest in the victims or the perpetrator or a good argument. I can not

deny that one gets to shake, twist and discomfort with certain scenes but if we think a little, a movie can not keep his weight on one aspect would be like a table with one leg, that happens to Grotesque, the gore and other technical aspects are very convincing, but he neglects everything else, (read suspense, tension, surprise, I argue, innovation etc ...) The interventions

I can not complain, they are very credible at all times, the soundtrack also full of classical music is impeccable, the photography is nothing without the other world is well achieved, and the gore is mostly good quality ... and ... that's all this is the problem of Grotesque, in just a few lines I could describe how good it has to offer the tape, the rest is pure repetition.

worst thing is that this movie with a little more depth to their characters, plot and psychology, could have been much more memorable, and at times we see small glimpses, but never come to realize something really convincing, being in situations merely anecdotal.

Grotesque In conclusion is a film that camouflages its total lack of content and style with visors and gore sick, it is undeniable that it has several scenes quite disturbing, but it seems immoral that a film remains in place only signs of violence.

best:
"The gore and some other technical aspect.
"I can do ... and entertaining experience

Worst:
" That there is nothing under that package.
"Absolutely mindless.

for me: 5.0/10
