Z for Zachariah vs The Survivalist
Z for Zachariah is based on a sci-fi novel by Rober C. O’Brian. Altough it is far from being a gripping thriller, I always meant to see this “last woman, last man” drama because it looked made out of a different material than the Survivalist: it has sunshine, backyard fish ponds, entirely wholesome existence (if…

The Survivalist (2015 Stephen Singleton ) vs Z for Zachariah (2015 Craig Zobel)
I would like to shuttle back and forth between two recent post-apocalyptic movies: The Survivalist directed by S Singleton and Z for Zachariah by Craig Zobel. Both are very different in mood, setting, acting. Differing gender -relational triangles pull each of the end-of-the-world worlds apart: one woman and one man(The Survivalist) and two men and one…

400 DAYS (Matt Osterman, 2015)
400 Days is a true classic of the eerie, it makes it easily into my top 10 of the last years. I consider that it carries and brings to fruition the unspoken space program preparation doom of such Cold War era classics as Outer Limits or Twilight Zone. The weird is palpable – oozing, leaking…

10 Cloverfield Lane (Dan Trachtenberg 2016)

Another explanation may be the fact that this whole SK spirit has been spread out – absorbed by others nowadays. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a new mystery horror…

End of the Line [Maurice Devereaux 2007]
File under: doomsday cult mayhem, subway demonology, be afraid of the beep of that incoming sms. End of the Line is a Canadian indie horror that’s not so much talked about, still I think it’s one of the best and should be paired up with Kontroll and Midnight Meat Train for a Subway Gate-to-Hell trilogy.…

Drifting Classroom (1987 Nobuhiko Obayashi)
After the late rediscovery of his surreal horror classic Hausu (1977), Nobuhiko Obayashi was being considered as one of the Japan’s best kept secrets. Drifting Classroom is an unintentional monster of a movie (not just a monster movie!). Obayashi practically massacred Kazuo Umezu manga original, and along the way transformed it into a weird cult classic. The…

Lifeforce ( Tobe Hooper 1985)
I’ve been aiming to add something to this movie review since forever. The original entry/synoposis is unchanged in just in the end becose it describes the whole movie in a few sentences (for those interested in quick summary). Lifeforce was made by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, The Mangler) when he as working at…
